Some shots of my installation Hydrojustice (post-performance) at @goucherartgalleries in Baltimore, with the contract diving into the waters after having been watermarked and signed by the audience at the hydrocontract performance at the opening of the show. It is on show until the end of the month amongst other amazing work by fellow artists. Part of the @mnemosyn_initiative project, curated by @_lizfaust and conceived by @artemisherber I love it when words return to becoming water, ink, paper, matter. The series of words I’ve been producing around the themes of my recent personal/academic/artistic book Hydrojustice and the performances that have been emerging around these works and concepts of the book allow me to think of the law once more as liquid and flooding. Allow me to think of our bodies as leaking and co-flowing. Allow me to think of my own process of thinking thought as wavey and translucent as jelly.

Just a few more weeks to see this! Once again I have made work that is nearly impossible to document, but Ana did a fantastic job photographing my installation and me :) thank you @side_a_photo 🧡 (professional video is still forthcoming). This is even better in person and on view 24/7 until January 31st. It is only visible from outside and best seen after sunset so please dress warmly! Thank you @_lizfaust and @goucherartgalleries Thank you @andyholtin for helping make this possible! Also thank you to @corrieeeee and @probablythom for letting me cast trees in your yard!

Dreaming Forward — Imagination, Hope & Speculative Repair As climate crises intensify, infrastructures erode, and systems fail, how do artists imagine repair—not as a return to the past, but a speculative reimagining of what could still emerge? In this closing panel of Industrial Afterglow, we turn to visionary artists whose work looks forward with care, creativity, and defiant hope. “Dreaming Forward” brings together artists who use data, memory, textiles, and artificial intelligence to create portals into possible futures—futures that are rooted in grief, kinship, ecological entanglement, and community imagination. This conversation will explore speculative design, rewilded cities, emotional AI, and ritual as infrastructure. Panelists include: Eunice Hong – whose delicate neural light networks suggest new modes of synthetic empathy and speculative intimacy. Dara Lorenzo – whose installations collapse time and memory to build circular models of generational healing. Eric Millikin – whose AI-driven animations resurrect extinct marine life through myth and machine vision. Alexi Scheiber – whose animated works visualize rewilded, plant-infused futures for post-industrial cities. Together, they ask: What if dreaming is not escape, but strategy? What if repair begins with imagination? #artisttalk #dreaming #art #printmaking #installation #baltimore

Rewilding Futures – Plants, Wetlands & Ecological Memory “What grows in the cracks of what we’ve left behind?” As industrial infrastructures deteriorate and urban environments shift, new ecologies are rising—often overlooked, often fragile, yet full of insight. This virtual panel explores the intersections of environmental memory, rewilded spaces, and speculative ecology through the lens of contemporary art. Bringing together artists from Industrial Afterglow whose work centers environmental reclamation and ecological imagination, Rewilding Futures investigates how weeds, wetlands, and wildness become teachers, storytellers, and agents of resilience. Participating Artists: Chelsey Barrera & Gracie Horne — co-creators of Balti-MORE Wetlands, a speculative zine mapping Baltimore’s forgotten waterways and flood zones through Indigenous knowledge and environmental justice frameworks. Edgar Reyes — multimedia artist whose photo series explores migration as an ecological shift, documenting the promise of a new future by focusing on how land tells a story of adaptation and resistance through nature's silent and persistent reclamation. Alexandra Garove — scanographic animator crafting digital dreamscapes where abandoned architecture is slowly reclaimed by lush, fictional ecosystems. Samantha Sethi — sculptor of future ruins in Fossil Futures, imagining the layered imprint of current environmental and technological systems in future geological strata. Cathy Cook — photographic storyteller chronicling the haunting stillness of decommissioned vehicles and machines in Life After Decay, capturing industrial stillness as ecological aperture.

Happy to share that I am curating SPARK VII: “Industrial Afterglow,”a collaboration between Towson University and UMBC sponsored by PNC, opening this November at The Peale, brings together over twenty artists working across sculpture, installation, sound, photography, video, textiles, and ecological documentation to explore what lingers in the wake of industrial and technological systems. The exhibition runs November 6 – December 7, 2025. From bioplastic light sculptures and cyanotype archives to rewilded cityscapes and AI-coded sea monsters, the exhibition casts light—literal and symbolic—on the residues of industry, the reconfigurations of ecosystems, and the speculative futures already blooming in the present. As a former industrial port city undergoing rapid urban transformation, Baltimore provides a vital lens through which to consider the aftermath of extractive systems and the possibilities of repair. “Industrial Afterglow” asks: What remains after infrastructures collapse? How do ecologies adapt and resist? What does it mean to imagine otherwise? By attending to what still glows, hums, or grows through the ruins, this exhibition transforms light from metaphor into method—revealing the unseen, mourning the obsolete, and illuminating paths toward speculative futures. Participating Artists Include: Chelsey Barrera, Sue Borchardt, Jena Burchick, Lynn Cazabon, Cathy Cook, McCoy Chance, Danielle d’Amico, Alexandra Garove, Eunice Hong, Gracie Horne, Jinyoung Koh, Dara Lorenzo, Jenee Mateer, Leah Clare Michaels, Eric Millikin, Timothy Nohe, Edgar Reyes, Sarah G. Sharp, Alexi Scheiber, Samantha Sethi, Mariia Usova, and Tara Youngborg. #art #baltimore #lightsout #contemporaryart #curating #exhibition
