Home Alone
Thesis Exhibition, 2016Home Alone is an undertaking comprising my four years of undergrad work at The Cooper Union School of Art. In the exhibition, I transform the school’s storied collonade into an imagined inside-out version of my own interior spaces. The show explores the relationship between exteriority and interiority through the metaphor of a suburban home filled with detritus. Throughout the space, fragments of my dramatized inner life are projected outward in the form of video performances playing on TVs and projections, paintings, ceramic letters and flowers, clothes, pictures, trash, furniture, and a variety of small objects made and found.
After a bacchanalian opening reception, the collonade remained untouched until the show’s closing the following week. A sense of sudden abandonment lurks over the old dining table at the center of the exhibition for the duration of the show, the space littered with remnants of an outside world briefly let inside. Snippets of songs, images, and memories echo throughout the collonade, waiting to be experienced once more.

Design Project, 2015The 9D Microdance Committee
2013-2015Starting as impromptu dormitory dance parties, The 9D Microdance Committee created weekly 30 minute parties in The Cooper Union’s Foundation Building, each DJed by a member of Cooper Union community. A verbose, hyper-maximal flyer was designed for each week with a unique theme for each event. The parties had a strict no-photo policy with the poster series serving as documentation.
