A modest EOY update/website revamp. Notably, my academic paper 'Time, Memory Retrieval, and Speculative Storytelling' will be published in the peer-reviewed journal photographies with Taylor & Francis (April, 2026) about my practice-led research. 🦾

I'm approaching the final months of Psychic Telephone, the multiyear collaboration w. Marin Sardy. If you're interested in catching up, check out her Substack. Here are a few images I've made along the way. Lots of circles, holes, ellipses, and portals. marinsardy.substack.com

This week’s conversation on my Substack is with Evan Hume. We talk about his new book Critical Collection, bureaucratic secrecy, and what it means to teach photography at a moment when its truth claims are increasingly unstable.

FWIW, the jury is still out on Gen AI being good at text summaries. Because it shortens & emphasizes text based on distribution, not meaning, it’s less of a summary (ie, salient points highlighted) than a compression (ie, the most frequently asserted terms in the distribution). Not the same thing!

This week’s Substack is with Liliana Farber. We discuss the illusion of objectivity in cartographic images, the real ecological and political costs of “immaterial” infrastructures like the cloud, and fictional servers on flagless boats. Enjoy.

Lately, I’ve been thinking about what’s at stake for us creative folks when the ground beneath us feels uncertain.
Beginning next Wednesday, every other week, I’ll be sharing conversations with creative people about the idea of risk. Strap in!

From the opening of ‘Current States of Being: Exploring AI’s Influence on Memory, Identity, and Creativity,’ curated by Sarah Knobel. It was a pleasure to exhibit two bodies of work side-by-side, and to be in such good company alongside @cyberneticforests.bsky.social and Ameera Kawash.

I'm honored to be a Lumen Prize finalist in the Still Image category for An Incantation in Twelve Prompts, a poem paired with camera-born images about falling out of love with photography.
Hats off to all the other artists this year!

My favorite time of the year is when I start printing my work, getting exhibition-ready, and inviting people into the studio for private viewings before things ship off, which is what I'm busy with all this month. From the series Psychic Telephone, UV prints on metal, 16x20"

My story traces the phantom presence of a man I’ve never met—my biological father—through inherited photo albums, a vintage brooch, and pixelated home videos. Part speculative memoir, part forensic investigation, it follows the trail of objects and memories across family lines.
