I’ve long wanted to created art that would be seen in people’s daily lives rather than in revered spaces–and which might be seen from different angles and distances, in different lighting conditions, and at different paces.
Great news. In August I was selected for a four year term on the state’s 2026 – 2029 roster. The Public Artist Roster is a list of pre-qualified professional artists who are eligible to create site-responsive works of art for K-12 public schools, colleges, universities, and state agencies. Art in Public Places (AIPP) project managers facilitate this process. In my case I was approved for indoor projects with budgets up to $125k.

What’s the Use (2024) Video, 1:28 While the spread of AI generally is alarming in itself its deepest dangers come from corporate control of the training of its data and the constraints it puts on critical or merely divergent voices. What do you think?
Later this month I will learn the status of a grant that would help me move forward with Tick Tock, a major installation on global warming. If the grant is not selected for funding I will seek support through Kickstarter–and will let you know when I do.
Above is the main image (both halves of which were shot on federal land: The Medicine Bow National Forest and Yellowstone National Park) in a large installation that I am working on to ask us consider what happens when geologic time speeds up to the pace of human action. I will present the image as a loop resting on a pinnacled stand so that the loop is slightly off level and at eye level or slightly above. A motor will rotate the loop at a pace slow enough to be noticed only on extended observation. A slow clicking sound will accompany the rotation, suggesting to the observer that something is happening that may require our time and our attention. I will be collaborating with a noted local sculptor, who will be creating the base.
Americans, an exhibition presenting the diversity of the American people through photographs made since the last presidential election opens September 6 at the Rankin Arts Photography Center at Columbus State College in Columbus, Georgia. I have two works, below, in the show, which closes September 27.
