Welcome! I’m glad you’re here.

My background in community organizing combines with art practice to fuel a strong interest in engaging with people and media in what I term aesthetic action.

Mapping, storytelling, dialogue, guided walks, video, sound, music, dance, printmaking, sculpture, and performance are media we have combined with intentionally designed experiential processes aimed at inviting people to engage, interact, participate, and express themselves.

I think often these days about how artist, educator, and writer Ted Purves defined social practice art: that which produces a space of encounter. I am most interested in framing experiences for people to connect – with themselves, each other, issues they care about, their places.

With this aesthetic of relationship at center, our work goes further, pointing to action participants might choose in response to changes in thought or feeling that relational experiences may bring.

I’d love to hear what you think – about the work on this site, and about art as a way for artists and communities to engage toward positive change!
