I create bodies of work that explore subjects such as gender, artifice, and spectacle. Utilizing processes ranging from directorial to anthropological, I showcase exuberantly irrepressible personalities who revel in challenging clichés associated with masculinity and femininity. A sampling of recent subjects include Girls Girls Girls (the world's first and only all-female Mötley Crüe tribute band), Tazzie Colomb (the world's longest competing female bodybuilder), and LACTIC Incorporated (an avant-garde clothing brand that takes the detritus of corporate life and reinterprets it into one-of-a-kind structural garments that challenge the polarization of gender).

With my current project "Life is Drag", I am documenting the most singular and innovative performers of the currently exploding alt-drag and neo-burlesque scenes. I am 3 years into this project and have so far made 250+ portraits, created in my Brooklyn studio as well as during residencies - in 2021 in New York City (The Cell Theater, Bushwig) and in Pittsburgh (The Kelly Strayhorn Theater, Blue Moon Bar, Bloomfield Garden Club), and in 2020 in New England (3S Artspace).

Over the course of my 2 month Wave Pool residency, I worked with 25 performers - including members of Cincinnati based ODD Presents drag haus and Smoke & Queers burlesque troupe, as well as with other performers from the tri-state area.

The residency also included an exhibition featuring this ever-growing archive, as well as multiple live performance events. These photos are from the opening reception at Wave Pool on March 12th, 2022, featuring performances by:

- Betty Page Turner (host)

- Seymour Hiney

- Bleu Vomit

- Dandy Lyin

- Delusiona Grandeur

- Dahlí

"Life is Drag" was the 2022 Vance-Waddell Residency, and as a part of that I selected a Cindy Sherman photograph and Janine Antoni sculpture from the Vance-Waddell collection to inform and expand on the installation for this project.

Finally, my entry for the PSDTuts+ Delta Dawn competition.

INTERPRETATION OF BRIEF

Delta Dawn: The Singularity

"The year is 2399 A.D. An enormous supercomputer known as the Triarch covers the entire surface of the Earth. For two hundred years, it has dominated mankind with its army of machines and genome soldiers. Its relay hubs - monstrous structures known as the Spikes – tower over the landscape, a grim reminder to the humans living in slavery below.

Humanity’s last hope rests with the Delta Collective, a group of scientists, soldiers, engineers and refugees living deep within the city’s forgotten foundations, where the Triarch’s probes cannot penetrate… yet.

As a member of the Delta Collective’s elite combat operatives, it is your mission to strike at the Triarch’s silicon heart, using a combination of brute force, sabotage and subterfuge.

The 25th Century dawns. The time has come to take the planet back."

MY COMMENTS

My envisionment of the game was of a first-person shooter taking place in a futuristic, post-apocalyptic city, centering around the actions of a lone soldier in an underground guerilla war against a supercomputer that has subjugated all mankind.

The subtitle - "The Singularity" - refers to the hypothetical "technological singularity" that some think will occur when technology develops at an immense and uncontrollable rate, resulting in, among other things depending on who you ask, sentient computers. In my image of the game, mankind reached this singularity in the 2100s, and has been paying the price for it ever since.

I would create the entire game if I could - the general art style is represented in the box art. It would be a juxtaposition of the ultra-high-tech, clean, clinical forces of the Triarch and the grungy, dirty, "underground" denizens of the city.

Weaponry would be put together from salvaged parts around the city by the Delta Collective's science team and taken from the corpses and wrecks of the Triarch's forces. These would range from crude projectile weapons to radioactive sludge cannons and a "cold fusion gun" [Pictured - actually a modified camera tripod! :)].

I am unsure of the license of the matte painting in the lower-right screenshot - it's an image that I had on my hard drive. I liked it and used it, but I can remove it easily if necessary.

All the rest was done with original photography and texture generation techniques.

The towers are 3D models generated using 3D Studio Max and Greeble.

Rutting season in Yellowstone National Park, bison everywhere paired off for mating. Also, while they appear to be completely oblivious to humans, tourists get taken out on ambulances all the time from bison close-encounters.
