︎ a lecturer currently located in Chicago, IL. They teach at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Currently they are working on a collection of essays tentatively titled The Jester’s Gesture: Performance Lectures and Some Other Things, developing a practice as a Game Master for Tabletop Roleplaying Games, a show proposal, and Performance Studies PhD applications.
︎ Pieces of theirs have been published, performed, contained, or shown in and/or at: Other Forms, MOCA Cleveland, Apparatus Projects, The Chicago Art Book Fair, Plates Journal, Carrol University, Prompt Press, Watershed Art & Ecology, Cleveland Museum of Art, and the Joan Flasch Artist Book Collection.
︎ How would a stone give a lecture? Through investigations of gesture generally, my practice takes manifold forms in pursuit of an understanding of these gestural logics. Foregoing exclusively material creation in pursuit of relational moments between writer, object, thing, artist, thinker, idea, event, lecture, etc. I’m looking to seek out the moment at which gesturing becomes a kind of thinking, and thinking allows for the gesturing. I’m seeking to find the point where hand holds hand, the nebulous point in between the sensing being and the one being sensed.
