Tech Geek Goes Antique
I was born in the midwest, lived in the south, and now reside in the northeast. I have been a photographer, graphic designer, bass player, typographer, web pioneer, informational leafblower and armchair philosopher. I went back to school in 2000 to become an art director, and discovered I prefer the company of artists. I graduated with a printmaking/metalwork degree, with a design degree added just in case.
I accidentally fell into running a small letterpress in a residence hall at Harvard, and have since been doing conceptual art and letterpress work in my own space in Charlestown, Massachusetts.
Much of my work involves data and its interaction with the consensus reality, and how that reality is affected and changed by that data. Oftentimes the simplest visual representation of a dataset is enough to engage the viewer in ways far beyond the naïve reading of that information. Although there's always a didactic element in my work, my true focus is on revelation and enlightenment, and the joy of finding a previously-unnoticed detail in the landscape of life.
