Social Vandalism is a public installation utilizing the street art technique of wheat paste and vandalism. For this project I installed one piece a day for a year in 2015. All the work was written and executed for 365 consecutive days. It was designed to be a daily meditation and practice, a challenge in discipline. The phrases or fortunes, cover a range of topics from romance and bravado, to social observations, and feminism. Each unique piece was pasted in obvious and obscured locations waiting to be seen. When I install the piece I, being the installer, am unaware of the turn of phrase that will be revealed to the public before its installation, creating a continuous cycle of serendipity for me, the artist, and you, the viewer. All of the pieces are intentionally left anonymous to highlight the message and eliminate the need for authorship. In this I hope to inspire the feeling of connection between the audience and the universe, sparking emotion, thought, reaction and perhaps a sense of connection.

This machine was created to distribute my work to a broader audience, as a way to help rekindle magic back into peoples lives. A hybrid of the classic Zoltar and the street side vending machines we put our quarters in as children, I hope that when one encounters the machine they will walk away with a renewed sense of wonder, nostalgia and magic. Every ball is unique and a spell has been cast to ensure that each visitor receives their message from the universe. The contents change that surround the messages and are also part of the magic spell. Take a twist and see what you get!?!

Public Discourse is the talkback from the street to the work I’ve put up. The responses are often (unintentionally), tongue in cheek in their responses and I’ve documented them to create a new series of work. Hopefully you’ll find to as fun as I do.

Originally designed to be an ad takeover on the NYC Transit system 2013. I was hoping to capture the imaginations of NYC commuters who are often in a "psychic limbo" while traveling to their destinations, hoping to confuse them on whether the words were an advertisement of some sort or perhaps just a message slipped to them in secret.

Please reach out with any inquiries. We’d love to beautify your wall. Outta town calls taken…

I’ve started experimenting with quilting text. I want to work with the fabric and the words to bring another dimension to the work.
