Conceptual Entrepreneur

Writing / Publishing

I’m a conceptual entrepreneur based in Los Angeles, California. My work examines the assumptions of contemporary American culture. My research focuses on the relationship between commercialism, identity and experience. I explore and document the various narratives, ideologies, representations and omissions of the Other within everyday culture. I use essays, exhibitions and performative lectures to highlight how meaning is created and received through the dominant frames of American life.
