Split Screen Video Love

For most people who know me, they know that I record a lot of life with my phone and never delete any of it. It's such a fun ability to visually backtrack to the last time I saw a friend, or went to a place, or tried that awesome experience. This video (shot all with a phone) touched that little quirk of mine.

Fill in the Blanks

A few months ago I stumbled across Candy Chang's site and fell in wonder with her fill in the blank interactive art! She takes usually abandoned spaces and invites conversation around them, which has this life-infusing effect into the untouched spaces.

BEFORE I DIE...

LOOKING FOR LOVE AGAIN

Inspired by the projects, OneTaste, the start-up I work at that teaches people about female orgasm, opened a pop-up store with similarly inviting wall paper. We've created a space for people to redefine what orgasm means to them! It's been one of the most successful aspects of the pop-up shop so far in its week of being open. As scandalous as sexuality can be for people, when they feel the invitation to participate in a larger art project, almost 100% of people get on board.
