April 2014- Installation at Flight Gallery in San Antonio, TX
I am a both a founding and collaborative member of this group. I participated in concept development, performance pieces, and was the selected PR representative. The images below are both my PR work for our show at Flight as well as my art. I designed the information card for the show, wrote press releases, made social media posts, etc. The poem “I Love Pink Glitter Too Much” was formed by combining anonymous secrets I collected from strangers at a performance called “The Secret Box” during a First Friday in the spring of 2013.

In this show I presented my shadow boxes that hang on the wall. These handmade frames have Polaroid transfer transparencies depicting the 7 Deadly Sins. Beneath the boxes are pages of the bible. The frames are gold leafed and stained with acrylic paint and wood stain.

EXPOSED
Michael and Noémi Neidorff Art Gallery, April 2015
Public Relations, Gallery Attendant and Artist
In this piece I collected audio pieces from people in my life explaining an experience in which they felt like they had thought of something they had wanted to say to someone when it was already too late. This piece was inspired by the French phrase "L'espirt de L'escalier", which translates into thinking of the perfect retort too late.
I had viewers interact with this piece by playing telling them to play the audio while looking at the portrait transparencies sandwiched in between glass panels that hung on the wall. The order of the audio corresponded with the sets of four portraits from top to bottom.
