This is where I will post longer-form updates from my experience in Brazil. Right now I’m finalizing plans and getting all my supplies together — it’s almost time to fly to Manaus for my residency at LABverde. I am SO happy to finally be able to officially announce my participation in the LABverde program Speculative Ecologies, alongside brilliant artists Dayrel Teixeira, Rudy Loewe, Sioduhi, Laiza Ferreira, Rulan Tangen, Walla Capalobo, Juan Ferrer, Vagné L., Yoichi Kamimura, Maria do Rio Negro, Denise Ackerl, and Ingrid Weyland— more info about all the artists on LABverde’s Instagram page. I know that we will all learn so much from each other and from the locals, guides, and experts who will lead us through the experience.

I’ve spent the past two to three years delving into ecological issues impacting the Amazon Rainforest, gathering information from journalists and scientists. It’s a dream come true to be able to go there myself to BEAR WITNESS to this spectacular ecology. I’ll be documenting the landscape through photography and videography, and sharing my observations with you here.
