Dispersed Together: Art in a Time of Distance

Dispersed Together is a series of abstract mixed-media works created in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. These paintings explore this global crisis in various ways—how individuals were separated in their own communities, police brutality in America,  wide spread grief and loss, and more. 

The story of descending into a cave with spoken word, live sound, and projected video. Why do we put faith in false promises and what is it like to be a rock? We will shed light on these questions.

A live performance created in collaboration with Alicia Puglionesi.

The Comments is the third installment in Carrie Fucile and Brenton Lim's Technology Trilogy. The core of this piece weaves selected YouTube comments with First Sound’s 2008 engineered playbacks of Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville’s 1859 phonautogram of a diapason at 435 Hz.

Perceived is a visual journey about gender fluidity and the containment of self expression.

Prints from these sites I photograph, exploring where subject matter and place converge through a cameraless, chemigram technique using soil, vegetation, and light which leave traces on silver gelatin paper. The land acts as a collaborator in these prints. I have included several chemigram works as well as a piece made from soil from plantation sites (soil chromographs) and archives of turn of the century railroad photography.

A young Ojibwe writer, under pressure to complete his first novel, becomes the lens for a broader story: how Indigenous culture survives in an era where tradition and technology collide, and where authentic voices compete with distorted media portrayals.
