Happy Wednesday!

I recently moved my newsletter to Substack. I write four or five a year. Think of them as studio notes—brief reflections on what I’m making and thinking about, places to see the work in situ, and occasional writing about the ideas that shape it.

Some of you have been on this journey with me for quite a while now. Thank you.

I don’t add people to my mailing list just because they smiled at me, so subscribe if you’d like. It’s free and infrequent.

And it might be nice to have your email address in case of a social media apocalypse.

You can read the latest post through the link in my bio.

Oh, and a Happy Eid to all those who celebrate!

“Test Prep (S**t I Do)” is a part of Context 2026 at that opens tonight 5-8PM.

Context 2026 is curated by Sara Ickow, Associate Director of Exhibitions at the International Center of Photography. Thanks for including my work, Sara!

Please head to the link in my bio to read Sara’s beautiful curatorial statement and for details about the show.

The exhibition is up through April 18th, 2026.

“S**t I Do is informed by Sara Ruddick’s Maternal Thinking (1989), which conceptualizes mothering as physical, intellectual, and emotional labor shaped by the needs of the child and the surrounding environment. Using photography and digital collage, I reassemble everyday symbols into flattened, staged scenes tinged with absurdity, employing satire to highlight the complexities of contemporary motherhood.”
