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.

LA/SF art/arch pt 3. 📐Thinking about spaciousness 🧘🏻‍♀️, visualized with the Schindler House run by @makcenter in West Hollywood. One of the earliest examples of Modernist architecture, it was built in 1922 by Rudolf Schindler who borrowed heavily from Japanese and indigenous nations in the Southwest, experimenting with concrete, and articulating tropes of California architecture and indoor/outdoor living spaces.

People are talking about This & That International Mail Art Swap, a project I organized that’s currently in Involved, Socially at Triple Base Gallery.

Hiya Swanhuyser valiantly connected This & That and astronomical phenomena in a write-up on SFWeekly.com (Cheers to Joshua Churchill, whose transit-specific project garnered Swanhuyer’s appreciation)
