Though Suture is just fine.
Nuanced interactions—with ourselves and others—often linger below the surface, reemerging as rumination, dissociation, or affective dissonance. My practice investigates these internal states and their entanglement with the structural constraints of technosocial systems, using looping animations, interactive performances, and experimental games. While the work reflects fractured emotional states shaped by digital systems, it also operates as a space for play, refusal, and reinterpretation. By externalizing these experiences, I invite critical distance and transformation—opening up new, self-directed modes of engagement that remain situated within, and responsive to, the systems from which they emerge.
Born in 1992 and raised in the cornfields of Illinois. After earning a BFA in Design & Multimedia in 2016, I moved to Chicago and worked across fabrication, digital design, and interactive media. I recently received my MFA in Interactive Design & Game Development at SCAD, where my work examined the limits embedded in digital and analog systems—and how systems often fail to contain the full range of play.
Now based in Pittsburgh, I design and build exhibit components at the Children’s Museum and serve as the in-house tech for a 100+ machine barcade.
