Soldiers In Love: What Gamut Clef Said To Gambit Cliff, 2011
This hybridized visual narrative suggests that within potentially catastrophic events, such as war, love, extreme sports, and health, our mythological and neurological impulses, which are buried deep within our DNA, may be one in the same.
Dopamine, He: Poster Boy, 2011
The neuro-aesthetic companion event to Happy Beginning, 2011.
A friend said, a friend told him, "every relationship is a love story, and it is crucial that you know where you are as you move through this beautiful story." Themes represented in this project include: systems of opposition; love; sensibility; language.
Some earlier critical responses: "a raw and sensitive portrayal of love and loss." "Brave, brave, brave."
Glossy Private Public addresses the bandied about topic of private and public space, and how this powerful subject of civic and vernacular use has within the last twenty years been consolidated through practice, convenience, and economic necessity into a pervasive language of "social" purposefulness. This Visual Talking Point discursively spells out past and future aesthetic concerns surrounding this subject.
Lagtime: The Space Afforded Change, 2011
This Visual Talking Point looks at our contemporary notion of change as being spatial in origin. Also, 2006 and 2007 images from Private Little Suns; Days Worm, Masculine; vNH; Private Little Suns-S are included. Revised.

"A recovery narrative – G.Severini, E.Mari, J.Columbo, H.Harpignies, and Pennant Drawings"
Levels and Visual Rewards, 2009
"This VTP suggests that we no longer judge art work as being good or bad, but rather as a process seeking a reward for our looking. The artists Taft Green's and Katie Grinnan's work is used to describe this shift."
