Large-scale collaborative art shaped by play, place, and public life.

My socially engaged art practice uses play, performance, publishing, food, sport, fieldwork, and public gathering to create large-scale projects with artists, communities, and institutions. These works are built through collaboration and shaped by the places where they happen, from sandlot baseball fields and borderlands to civic spaces, sculpture parks, festivals, and informal sites of everyday culture. At the center of this practice is a belief that art can create temporary publics: people gathered around a shared action, a shared question, or a shared place.

Play as Public Practice

I use play as a structure for gathering people around shared action. A game of catch, a sandlot baseball field, a meal, a walk, or a collective performance can become a way to build trust, open conversation, and create temporary publics shaped by participation.

Place-Based Collaboration

My projects are built with the histories, tensions, materials, and social life of specific places. From borderlands and ballfields to sculpture parks, festivals, neighborhoods, and rural landscapes, the work asks what a site already holds and what new forms of connection it can make possible.

Collective Storytelling

Publishing, performance, oral history, foodways, film, and public gathering are central to how I make socially engaged art. These projects collect and circulate stories through shared formats, creating work that is both authored and collectively held.
