Other Creative
Endeavors
I also taxidermy insects, paint, play trombone, and create audio projects.
Lizard Wedding
I hosted a lizard wedding at my apartment in the surreal haze towards the end of the pandemic. It included live music, an ordained priest, and jewelry laden bridesmaids (who happened to be quail). The event was recorded as performance art and displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC.
DREAM CURRENTS
A 32 square foot acrylic painting of mine was displayed in the Johnson Museum of Art, Cornell’s premier art museum.
Future Sounds
Over the course of my final semester at Cornell, I participated in a program called Future Sounds. After learning about the past, present, and future of instrument making, I designed and constructed a unique instrument myself. I then composed a song for the guitar-inspired instrument and debuted the auditory artwork at a festival held in Cornell’s Johnson Museum of Art.
Malus
A photo collage
Bug Boy is a short documentary about insect collecting on a chilly morning at Cornell. It was filmed and edited by the wonderful Gillian Harrill.
