MONTHLY UPDATES

July 2025: Just got back from Green River, UT. I’ve been taking photos of people’s front yards there; getting to know folks; sharing conversation and learning about the meaningfulness of their yard decor and gardens. Check out a convo that Epicenter’s Executive Director, Maria Sykes had for Daily Yonder that mentions my project. Read more about my project; HELLO, WORLD!

June 2025: RIPARIA is open at MING Studios, and will be thorugh Aug 2, which is also Hudson’s birthday! We have a lot of events going on in support of the exhibition, check out the calendar.
Matt Bunk interviewed me for MING Studios’ podcast: ♨️️
CL + Ceci + I had a converstation that was recorded for CL’s podcast: 🐚️

May 2025: The Alexa Rose Foundation x The Common Well residency comes to a close in 4 days. Just had a wonderful recorded conversation with CL Young and Ceci Richardson. Hope to post that soon!

April 2025: Me + Matt are moving upstairs to the BIG studio in the Common Well. The Ecogeoglyphic Observatory is going to have its second official HQ, this time with way more space for us to gather and be together.

April 2025: Just got back from Epicenter’s Spring Summit, themed “Migration.” It was truly awe-inspiring. Check out Epicenter, where I am a Frontier Fellow, working on a project documenting the front yards of Green River, Utah.

April 2025: The Alexa Rose Foundation’s “Show and Tell” residency has opened our show at The Common Well. I am still working on getting good images of my installation. I wrote a bit about the show in an around the corner way on my substack.

March 2025: The Ecogeoglyphic Observatory is a few months out from our show, RIPARIA, at MING Studios. We are presenting a public performance of “Drone Bath” on March 11. Read more here: 💦️

RIPARIA is taking shape as we explore the edges of the Boise River and await the explosion of water that will soon be released from Lucky Peak Reservoir. We are returning to the river in this super-warm spring with gratitude and curiosity.

I am preparing to conclude the work for my residency at The Common Well in Boise. Myself and the “Show and Tell” residency cohort have been working for nearly six months on our presentations. Today the title came to me, “Dues for a Volcano Cult.”

Feb, 2025: I am currently visiting Green River, Utah as part of my research as one of Epicenter’s Frontier Fellows. My work here focuses on the “front yard” as a form that holds storytelling, history, archive, and site for exchange with the more than human world. Read more about the fellowship, here: 📗
