I'm working with Dr. Birgit Kettenmann of the VCU Radiology Dept. to use fMRI technology to produce a scan of my brain as it reacts to my brother telling me jokes. This data will serve as the basis for a new series of wall sculpture.

RECENT:

Take a Number is a silkscreen and lasercut print that I produced with the help of Ashley Hawkins of Studio Two Three in Richmond, VA. The print can be folded into a 3-dimensional wall sculpture from a single sheet of paper.
