Collaborative Drawing Study
"Study is what you do with other people. It's talking and walking around, working, dancing, suffering, some irreducible convergence of all three, held under the name of speculative practice." – Fred MotenThese video experiments shows two drawings. One is linear and had the artists place objects on the lawn canvas in a specific order, and the second is non-linear, allowing the artists to choose when and where to place their objects within a span of 5 minutes. The drawings capture an arrangement of object but the magic is in the movement of bodies and shadows in space.Project, completed at at DesignInquiry in Vinalhaven, Maine, summer of 2024. Concept and rules created with Carla Fisher-Schwartz, camera work by Steve Anderson. Artists: Christo Allegra, Steve Anderson, Sarah Byrd, Monica Chau, Tricia Enns, Carla Fisher Schwartz, Lauren Holden, Christopher Ottinger, Mark Sanders, Karen Schwenkmeyer, Holly Willis

Neighborhood Poems
If the titles from posts on a neighborhood bulletin board were combined into a collaborative poem...it might look something like this. These collages were passed back and forth between myself and Mark Sanders for several days. One of us chose a line and then responded with type and images. The other person could add to, delete or alter the previous work.

Vinalhaven Atlas
As a way to tell a story about Vinalhaven, Maine, a place I have visited many times, I searched for a long list of things -- both concrete and conceptual. I combined my findings (photos) with actual places noted on geographical maps of the island imagining the narrative of a wanderer.
