One video still from each "Life is Drag" video portrait (performance documentation).

ARTIST STATEMENT:
I create bodies of work that explore subjects such as gender, artifice, and spectacle. Utilizing processes ranging from directorial to curatorial to anthropological, I showcase exuberantly irrepressible personalities who revel in challenging clichés associated with constructs such "masculinity" and "femininity". A sampling of 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 this current and ongoing project "Life is Drag", I am documenting the most innovative and singular performers of the currently exploding international alt-drag and neo-burlesque scenes. I am 3 years into this project, and so far have created 250+ portraits. These are created in my studio as well as during residencies - in New York City (The Cell Theater, Bushwig), Pittsburgh (The Kelly Strayhorn Theater, Blue Moon Bar, Bloomfield Garden Club), and New England (3S Artspace).
This project began in early 2019 in my studio in Brooklyn, when I collaborated with a local visual artist by the name of Untitled Queen - a deeply beloved, highly respected, and uniquely visionary performer and conduit within the NYC drag scene who uses drag as a part and extension of her artistic process. I then worked with selected performers from Ohio and Kentucky in conjunction with a mid-career retrospective in my hometown of Cincinnati in the spring of 2019, and in January and February of 2020, I worked with 20+ New England-based drag artists as part of a residency and exhibition at 3S Artspace in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
From the autumn of 2020 until the summer of 2021, I was an artist in residence at The Cell Theatre in the Chelsea neighborhood of NYC, where I expanded the project in the midst of the pandemic to also include neo-burlesque performers and performance artists whose work deals specifically with gender performativity. Most recently was a residency in my hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio - which included creating video portraits of performers from the drag haus ODD Presents, members of the neo-burlesque troop Smoke & Queers, and other alt-drag and burlesque artists from the tri-state area. This residency also included an exhibition featuring this ever-growing archive, as well as multiple live performance events.
My long-term goal is to continue to do a series of such residencies nationally and internationally, which will allow me to create a comprehensive archive of video portraits of drag, burlesque and performance artists from a wide range of locations, backgrounds, cultures, and ages. Each portrait includes video of the artist performing (lip-synching, singing, telling stories, reciting monologues, dancing, etc.) in addition to interview documentation, and will live online as well as in galleries and unexpected places in between. "Life is Drag" has so far been exhibited at such venues as the the Carnegie Museum of Art and Bunker Projects (PA), Satellite Art Club, Bushwig and The Cell (NYC), 3S Artspace (NH), and the Weston Art Gallery (OH).
I believe this project is innovative and important in that it is treating and respecting "drag" (defined as broadly and inclusively as possible) as a proper art form – recognizing it as an extremely vital and valid style of performance art, and every bit as deserving of the deference reserved for more traditional classical art forms like painting and sculpture. Drag is painting and sculpture and performance all at once - and quite often also activism, education, protest, therapy, resistance, catharsis, comedy, tragedy, enlightenment, inspiration - or some combination of the above - to those who practice it, and also to those who experience it as an observer. This project is about celebrating this experimental and expansive form of art and its wide range of practitioners and manifestations. It is about creating a record - an archive - of these brilliant but ephemeral performances, from dive bars to art galleries, city streets to grand theater stages. It is about trying to properly document and share these wildly diverse acts and profound stories that will surely open minds and capture hearts.

Here's the view from the far side of the bridge. The two cranes are carefully operating in the space between the railroad trestle and the existing Innerbelt Bridge. A little cramped for handling loads of this size, but our experienced crane operators are up to the challenge.
Knox Church rebuild on a walk around our neighbourhood May 13, 2014, Christchurch New Zealand.
The type of engineering involved is understood to have never been used before and is considered a world first.
The concrete buttresses range from 6.3m to 8.3m high with the largest buttress weighing approximately 13 tonne.
The design of the buttresses is a collaboration between Wilkie and Bruce and Aurecon. Aurecon engineers proposed the idea of “rocking column” buttresses being used and completed the detail design of the buttresses. Wilkie and Bruce took the structural concept and added the architectural features to come up with the final look of the buttresses.
By using a low damage design approach used here with “rocking column” philosophy the building will be able to be reused quickly following an earthquake.
The post-tensioning keeps the load carrying capability and restores the column back to vertical after the earthquake. External dissipaters on the sides of the buttresses dissipate energy via yielding. All structural damage is therefore confined to these dissipaters which have been designed to be replaceable following an earthquake. Once the dissipaters are replaced the building would be back to its pre-earthquake strength. For More Info: www.scoop.co.nz/stories/AK1312/S00450/engineering-of-knox...
Here's the view from the far side. You can begin to see the elegant shape of the new bridge that will be a remarkable addition to the Cleveland bridge inventory!

"Structural violence is a term commonly ascribed to Johan Galtung, which he introduced in the article "Violence, Peace, and Peace Research" in 1969.[1] It refers to a form of violence where some social structure or social institution may harm people by preventing them from meeting their basic needs. Institutionalized elitism, ethnocentrism, classism, racism, sexism, adultism, nationalism, heterosexism and ageism are some examples of structural violence as proposed by Galtung. According to Galtung, rather than conveying a physical image, structural violence is an "avoidable impairment of fundamental human needs". As it is avoidable, structural violence is a high cause of premature death and unnecessary disability. Since structural violence affects people differently in various social structures, it is very closely linked to social injustice.[2] Structural violence and direct violence are said to be highly interdependent, including family violence, racial violence, hate crimes, terrorism, genocide, and war.[citation needed]
In his book Violence: Reflections on a National Epidemic, James Gilligan defines structural violence as "the increased rates of death and disability suffered by those who occupy the bottom rungs of society, as contrasted with the relatively lower death rates experienced by those who are above them." Gilligan largely describes these "excess deaths" as "non-natural" and attributes them to the stress, shame, discrimination and denigration that results from lower status. He draws on Sennett and Cobb, who examine the "contest for dignity" in a context of dramatic inequality."

Today doesn't offer the best of shots, but it's been another stupidly busy one working through the evening. I'll be glad to see the back end of this week, I don't mind telling you.
This I'm sure must have featured before, but it'll do. This is the water tower on Reservoir Road which, it's reputed, is the highest non-structural point in Liverpool.
The top of the city indeed.
The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Building at No. 1, Queen's Road Central, Hong Kong. While technically British-based, HSBC's CEO office is located both in Hong Kong and London, and one can easily argues that HSBC is as much a Hong Kong bank as a British bank.
Designed by Sir Norman Foster in the 1980s, the building remains one of the most futuristic and innovative buildings even 30 years after it was conceived. Its main vertical structure includes 4 layers of exposed columns and trusses. Office space is then created by extending floor space across each level from one column to other, and also between each of the 4 layers of vertical support. You can think of it like two chocolate filling biscuits standing vertically. The biscuits forms the main vertical support, whereas the chocolate fillings between the biscuits are the floors providing the office space.
For scientists, one of the challenging aspects of studying aerosols is that the particles can change drastically as they age. This illustration shows the evolution of freshly-burned black carbon, which starts out with a distinctive chain-like structure. Over time, the chain begins to collapse and becomes more spherical. Such transformations can take place in short periods, and can alter how a given particle affects our health and the climate.

After another night of steel erection, the bridge now sports TWO closure girders between Pier 5 and Pier 6. We'll have to wait for the next railroad outage to set the other three closure girders for this span.

I stumbled on this photo on my archives and saw that the patterns of the roof are beautiful! I just cropped to what I think best showcased the lines and patterns that I wanted for this photo; now it is ready for flickr. ;-)
