About

I'm a visual artist obsessed with optimism. Originally from California, now living in New York. This is a space where I think through and share notes on art, art worlds, transparency, positive psychology, and my process.

Chinese New Year is a time for joy, cultural pride, family/chosen families❤️, and celebration. We have lived with too much fear and injustice, to dim our brightness, to suppress our expressions of love. We say wishes for good things in the new year like every year, and mean it, like every year. We are certain in our hearts of our right to belong and to be safe. We gather in community because culture is how we nourish and care for one another.

🪜 👷🏻‍♀️🛠 CCA Install Day 1: Inaugurating a new gallery/construction site. // It’s been a minute since I’ve been in install mode, as an artist or art handler. High-waisted work pants never lie, but really, snapping a pencil (!) in half in the pocket at the knee was a first. 🤫🫣🤭

Shine on me

Jiang Zhi’s Shine on Me exhibition at DF2 Gallery in Los Angeles looks amazing. Special effects are the result of some long exposures. Resonant with the fascination with light as a symbol for cleansing, purifying, transcendence. Some photographs are otherworldly, like a fairy tale way or a transmission from outer space.

See more photos at the DF2 Gallery site.
