THE INSTAGRAM SERIES
In 2016– after traveling around the world as an aspiring “digital nomad” for six months with nothing more than a 25L backpack, a MacBook Pro, and an iPhone– I started painting a series of canvases based on my photos (with the idea of building a large-scale, real-life “Instagram wall” that wouldn’t simply disappear into the internet abyss), and writing a book-length, travelogue-memoir about my adventures. Spoiler Alert: I had no idea what I was getting myself into.

THE CUBE
The Cube is a concept for displaying the Instagram Series– with an added twist. As a free-standing gallery, each wall of the Cube showcases a carefully-curated collection of vibrant images, much like the Instagram feed on which they are based. But what about the stories behind the paintings? The Cube invites the viewer on a multimedia journey “beyond the surface,” into the inner world of the artist, otherwise hidden from view. (Concept currently in the works; more to follow.)
