"We began as neighbors at the studio in the MFA program at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts. In the first year our paths crossed frequently in courses, lectures, and critique. Out of frustration in the studio during the summer we began to work collaboratively on a small-scale book. We both enjoyed the process and it laid the foundation to work collaboratively on books, prints, and drawings during our final year in the program. We decided to show together for our thesis not only because of the collaborative work, but also because our sensibilities and visual language compliment each other. Fragments, memory, and the duality of presence and absence are all strong elements in both our work.

Showing together continues the collaboration we have inside and outside of the studio. There are distinct voices in both bodies of work, but together they engage in a conversation about constructing the fragments of memory and observation into something new. "

The show will go on...

The reception for my thesis show has been rescheduled for

Sunday April 21st, from 4-7pm 
Fourth Wall Project at 132 Brookline Ave, Boston

There will be refreshments and an artists talk.

This is indeed short notice and hope you can join me in celebrating.

The calm before the storm...

A photo taken in the midst of installing my thesis show yesterday.

I was evacuated out of the gallery in downtown Boston. I was fortunate to be okay amid the chaos and uncertainty. Many cannot say the same and my thoughts and prayers are with them. Monday was a scary, sad, heartbreaking day in a city I've called home for almost a decade. I still love you Boston.
