Welcome to the art show. I’m so glad you’re here.
While my current focus is on mycelium cultivation and photography, I am someone who can never sit still. After numerous failed growth cycles, I stepped back and decided to take a foray into a newer, still fragile material: glass. These fused glass pieces are my easy, doable mushrooms that offer hope and solace as I continue trying to grow real ones. Thank you to the Chrysler Museum of Art’s Perry Glass Studio, Staci Katsias, & my mother for supporting this project.
Modeling Work
I got my first job at 16. Became an agency model at 17. Took a step back at 24. Here’s some of the images I made to sell shoes, soaps, and other things. Please reach out to BICOASTAL MGMT with any modeling inquiries, as I consider work on a case-by-case basis. You can also view my full portfolio here.
Sculpting with Mycelium
I am working on several works relating to the climate crisis and the need for collective action as the world ends. The idea is to create mycelium sculptures of turtles: my favorite animal and the animal whose back the world traditionally sits upon. It’s been an incredibly interdisciplinary exercise learning how to cultivate mycelium and how to create molds to shape said cultivation. It’s definitely a work in progress, but I’ve included some progress photos below.
Your fit is trash. So is mine.
As I became more and more involved in the fashion industry, I became increasingly disturbed by the textiles I was promoting. Most fabric cannot be easily recycled. Most fabrics are petroleum products actively warming the planet and setting us on course that will kill us all. This disturbing realization and my small part in this large, toxic industry led to this series of photos. Shot on a Minolta X-7a.
