Hello Brooklyn!
Niki and I are so pleased to have two pieces (Olympia & Valpincon Bather) from the Muse series in a show at the Trestle Gallery in Brooklyn, NY. Collaborations showcases four groups of artists working together to create work about identity and place. Within this exhibition, there are a variety of approaches to developing visual ideas between multiple artists, across physical spaces and time and in some cases collaborating with the viewer.

Back when I was working on my graduate thesis, I had the pleasure of getting some makeup and style coaching from Chilli Pepper.

Video: Kinsey Institute – 2012 Juried Art Show
As part of the Kinsey Institute’s video for the 2012 Juried Art Show, Niki Grangruth and I are featured briefly discussing how our photo, La Magie Noire [After Magritte] addresses gender and the inversion of traditional notions of beauty.
The Kinsey Institute Juried Art Show is a fantastically diverse collection of works that address gender issues, sexuality, reproduction, sexual politics, romantic relationships, and the human figure.
