New Work
- "National Toxic Land/Labor Service" is a proposal for a new agency within the US Department of the Interior to address the effects on the land on on bodies of the US nuclear-military apparatus. The proposal was jointly written with geographer Shiloh Krupar (as the TLC Service) for the Institute for Wishful Thinking.
- I designed a tour of ordinary military landscapes of the Midwest for Dan S. Wang and Stephanie Rothenberg's The Journey West temporary travel agency in Beijing, China.
About My Work
My written and visual work examines how physical and political landscapes are socially produced in order to create alternate, oppositional experiences of them. I typically begin by looking into the spatial practices—visible and invisible—that have produced a certain place over time and influence how politics are lived there. By alternately supplementing, shifting and undermining the visual dimension of space, I offer what W.J.T Mitchell calls an “account of landscape…[that traces] the process by which landscape effaces its own readability and naturalizes itself" in order to produce alternate ways of seeing and inhabiting those places.
