Oakland Pre-Compression, Burning Man — 2017

Live art at the Oakland pre-compression — my first taste of art as something the crowd stands inside, not a thing on a wall.

Shown at Oakland's First Fridays art walk.

SoMa — San Francisco — November 2018

A San Francisco show as the acrylic-and-resin work found its footing on the West Coast.

Chilopod — Burning Man — 2018

My honest role here was small — I only made it out a few times, in my first years in the US, and this was my first big volunteering project. What I took from it wasn't a credit line; it was seeing the community up close and understanding what drives people to pour that much time, money, and effort into one installation. I met Lawrence Grown, the father of the project, and his passion for it stayed with me for a long time. I've been to Black Rock City three times now, and bringing art to the playa is still one of the reasons it calls me back — I have a standing dream of building my own art car out there, the dopest engineer-meets-creative project I can imagine. I didn't do much for Chilopod; without knowing it, the people behind it did a lot for me. (the project · @thechilopod)

Burning Man 2019 — Memento Morium + Center Camp Café mural

Contributor to the collaborative art project Memento Morium (mementomorium.org/art-project), and painted a mural at the Center Camp Café — one of the busiest walls on the playa, seen by the crowds moving through the middle of Black Rock City.
