Phel Steinmetz

One of the most influential people to my work and my development as an artist, Phel Steinmetz, died last month of hodgkin's lymphoma. Phel was a professor of mine at UC San Diego and one of the first people to introduce me to contemporary photography and conceptual art. It is difficult for me to describe the profound impact that he has had on my life and my work.  His influence saturates every piece that I make.  But more than that I will miss his friendship and his tremendously corny jokes.  My debt to him is immense.

High Desert Test Site Project

The Mojave Desert Mule Deer Refuge is finished! 

You can view the piece HERE.

I couldn't have done it without the help of the Oregon Arts Commission, Andrea Zittel, Aurora Tang, Mom, Dad, Shelly McMahon, Chris Taylor, Dan Powell, Dan Pechstedt, Weston Lyon, Gaelan Rommes, and the College of Wooster. 

High Desert Test Sites

I was recently selected by Andrea Zittel, Dave Hickey, Libby Lumpkin, and Aurora Tang to participate in HDTS 2013.  I am not bummed.
