General Info:
studio
/// My studio is located in New Haven, CT two hours on the MetroNorth from NYC and a two hour drive from Boston. Address will be given upon receipt of deposit. Free parking is available in the lot in front.
Scheduling/PRICING
/// Currently working with reduced hours and availability, so booking will be done in FULL and HALF days with set sliding scales for each. For small work, select the QUARTER DAY option. Examples of Quarter Day pieces would be an ear, a small face tattoo, or a single line down the arm.
/// Deposit is $100, which will go towards the rate of the appointment.
/// Each option has a sliding scale. Decide what your budget is within that, and please bring that amount in cash. If you have questions or concerns feel free to reach out!
*NO COPS NO MILITARY*
An explanation of my practice:
I design systems of abstraction, techniques of improvised marking that each follow a discrete visual language. Everything is freehand. I’ve named and documented these techniques to make communicating our ideas easier:
CAVITY /// angular textural formations creating depth into the skin, with large black focal points.
SYSTEM /// organic curvilinear swells of parallel line, informed by geologic strata and sedimentary formations.
ASSEMBLY /// complex rectilinear structures constructed from pre-fab and freehand subassemblies, imagining future blight and anthropocene decay.
ARRAY /// weathered grid structures warping to the surface of the body. Interested in playing with different levels of scale, shape, texture, detail, and perspective.
GROWTH /// branching and woven lines of similar weight informed by fungal mycelium.
SCRAWL /// expressive and obscured text pieces. can be your words or can be chosen from a list of prepared words and phrases.
CUSTOMS: While everything i do is essentially a custom, I also am always open to working from reference imagery or concepts and take plenty of more figurative projects. If you have an idea that you'd like my interpretation on, i'd love to hear it!
