I am an interdisciplinary artist and critical writer interested in the ways histories, public spaces, and forms of citizenship produce one another. My recent work has focused on addressing and intervening in the formation of public memory, specifically labor history and Indian removal in Illinois, where I've lived for ten years. Additional interests include radical media, particularly pirate radio and self-publishing, cultural geography, and social movements. I am currently working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Cinema and Photography at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, where I teach courses in digital media and contemporary art practice. In my free time, I devise elaborate plans to turn an old Sears kit house on two acres into a sustainable, permaculture-inspired homestead and take walks in the Shawnee National Forest with my partner and collaborator, Nick Brown, our dog, Asa, Frank Thomas and Thomas Frank, the cats.
