The Installation I Sent Letters About in 2013
When Sleep was finished, I had a rough idea of how it should exist in the world. Not a cinema. Not a TV screen. Something more like a room you can actually be in. I imagined it projected onto a bed, or onto a wall above a bed. A space where someone could walk in,…

Am I an Artist? I Don’t Know. But I Keep Making Things Anyway.
During my entire “artist career” (quotation marks very intentional), I’ve been stuck on two stupidly simple questions: What is art?Who is an artist? They sound easy. They are not.

RIP Shapeways
Shapeways was the 3D printing service I used to order most of my stuff. The website stopped working, so I did some googling. Seems like they are bankrupt. This is too-bad. It was my go-to 3D shop. I always said it makes no sense to own a printer, because I can order much better quality…
