The Free Energy Principle is a mathematical framework stating that all adaptive, self-organizing systems—from cells to brains—act to minimize "surprise" (or variational free energy) to maintain their structural integrity.

Had an inspiring studio visit that unexpectedly led to a meaningful commission honoring the collectors father, who was a Tuskegee Airman. Sometimes the best projects come from the most serendipitous moments. Grateful for the opportunity to celebrate such a powerful legacy through the lens of my own creative language.

Conduit Conversations # 13
The Language of photography
Conduit Conversations: The Language of Photography brings together three distinguished photographers—Michael Reese @michaelreesestudios , Stephanie Brown @createdbrown , and Bud Smith @budsmithphoto —for an in-depth conversation on photography as both a documentary tool and a poetic language moderated by @hopeton_st.clair_hibbert .
This dialogue examines how photographers use the camera not merely to capture images, but to interpret history, identity, environment, and lived experience. Spanning multiple generations and approaches, the conversation explores how photographic practice balances intention and intuition, technical mastery and emotional resonance.
“As much as I definitely enjoy solitude
I wouldn’t mind perhaps
Spending a little time with you
Sometimes, sometimes” - Bjork Guðmundsdóttir #instudio #worksinprogress #artiststudios
Experimenting with screen printing / monoprints. Combining the precision of screen printing with the spontaneity of monoprinting to create one-of-a-kind pieces that are conceptually adjacent to my previous work. Excited to share this fusion of techniques with you all! 18 x 24 Monoprints (c) 2025

“I’m Sirius - B” it’s: Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies (c) 2025, 13 x19 Cyanotype on Watercolor Paper, Acrylic Paint, Pen & Ink on view until November 1st @sandlerhudsongallery
I am exploring the intricate interplay between identity, the passage of time, and the narratives that shape our existence. The concept of “Temporal Reflections” serves as a profound metaphor for understanding how our identities are woven from the threads of both past experiences and future possibilities.

Ultimately, “Temporal Reflections” is an invitation to engage in a dialogue about identity that transcends time. It is a reminder that our pasts are not merely relics to be stored away but are living components that continuously shape our futures.
