The opening reception for @princetonartsci yesterd

The opening reception for @princetonartsci yesterday was just terrific. About 200 people turned out to support the launch! So many great conversations about intersections between and collaborations across the arts, humanities and sciences!

Congrats to all the awardees, and to all the creators who had pieces in this year's show.

Special thanks to my co-organizers and friends @szetelat of the Lewis Center for the Arts, Brendan Byrne of @princetoncst and Adam Finkelstein of Computer Science. It's been a long road, but so fun to walk it with you!

Today we finished installing the @princetonartsci

Today we finished installing the @princetonartsci 2023 show I'm co-organizing and I can't believe how beautifully it came together. 51 works from 50 individual and group creators in both still and animation/video categories.

For anyone local, the opening reception is this Tuesday 5/2 at 4:30pm in the Friend Center at Princeton University. Thanks to @szetelat for working with me on the install!

From the exhibition text: "These works demonstrate how science-generated and science-inspired artworks do more than simply communicate methods and discoveries. They remind us of how restless, idiosyncratic and imperfectly human the scientific imagination can be, and reveal both the possibilities and limits of science’s determined reach into the unknown."

I tend to be so project-focused that I often overlook the simple joy of traveling and snapping without worrying about what every picture means.

So I thought I'd share a few shots in the coming weeks from my #iceland sketchbook—just a random collection of things I saw and did in that sublime, evocative place while traveling with my family in the summer of 2022.

And who knows, maybe some of these will make their way into a project. Some day.

I had a beautiful time on Friday presenting my pro

I had a beautiful time on Friday presenting my project-in-progress called "Scattered Seeds: Community Seed Savers in the Diaspora" at UT Arlington. My talk hinged on why working on a project about social-environmental redemption is a new and sometimes uncomfortable mode for me, as well as an opportunity to explore working with collage and my new obsession, "plant portraits."

Here are some excerpts.

Thanks to @amytigner.art for organizing a terrific event and for hosting us.

Very excited to be visiting UT Arlington next week

Very excited to be visiting UT Arlington next week for the Hermanns Lecture Series on Food & Environmental Justice. I'll be putting together an exhibition of my pictures, giving a talk on a new project-in-progress about community seed farmers and seed savers, and leading a new workshop with Allison Carruth called "Creative Practice for Social Impact." For the workshop we'll be mining footage from a decade-old collaborative project about a small fishing community in Brazil to make the short film we always wanted to but never quite managed to pull together. So much good stuff!

From my show Watershed at @princetonspia's Bernste

From my show Watershed at @princetonspia's Bernstein Gallery, coming down next week, the images that make up the Source chapter:

The physical and political landscapes of California have been shaped by a fundamental problem of hydrology: most of the state’s water falls in the far north where most of its people and economic centers are not. The horn-rimmed prophet of the California Water Plan in the 1950s and 60s, Governor Pat Brown, called this inversion of water supply to water demand a mere “accident of people and geography”—as if no more troublesome than an engineer’s rounding error. He made correcting the aberration central to his legacy, which to this day defines modern California.
