Birmingham birthday of dreams 🥹 🤍 one of my rules for this residency is to attempt to wrestle my inner life back from the robots by not letting the algorithm DJ. I’ve been listening to albums straight though while making work every day and honestly it’s been kind of life-changing. soooo if you wanna give me a lil bday present, comment your fave no-skip albums below, all genres welcome—or DM me your guilty pleasures, this is a judgement free zone 😉 🙏 🎶 and come see Sun Glyphs if you’re in Birmingham next Saturday 4/11 at @theoldbailey.gallery 6-9 (w/ whispers of a secret dance party after the opening, don’t tell @theoldbailey 🤫) … and Brooklyn get ready to keep the bday vibes flowing with me all month when I’m back. love you, thank you for being in my life!

BIRMINGHAM! this light! ☀️ 🥹 gah I say excited too much in this video but it’s genuine—this city is a gem and I’m so thankful to be making and showing work here over the next two weeks at @theoldbailey.gallery . also listen, given the slide to doom of it all, what a gift to be enveloped in the chrysalis of light and warmth and community that is Dan Bailey’s creative world. Dan, you’re the absolute realest. thank you for envisioning this residency with such care and welcoming me so generously into your artistic realm. it’s giving 90’s analog magic and I’m here for ever minute of it. << Sun Glyphs opens Saturday 4/11 from 6-9 at The Old Bailey Gallery ☀️ >>

Once you start to notice them, you see them everywhere ☀️🪞🏙️ 💫 Looking forward to my upcoming residency in Birmingham, Alabama where I’ll have two weeks to research, explore and make new work based on these light forms I’ve been tracking in New York City for years. Coincidentally, Birmingham is home to Sloss Furnaces, a huge producer of the steel that built many of the skyscrapers and other big infrastructure projects in NYC in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. I’m so fascinated by these ephemeral, glowing shapes hiding in plain sight in the urban landscape. I lived in NYC for almost two decades before noticing a single one, and now they tug at my peripheral vision every time I walk down the street when the sun’s out. Makes me think about how many things we filter out and don’t notice—both the flickers of poignant beauty and the ugly truths we let ourselves go numb to. A big part of this work comes from a pure fascination with reflected light, but at the root of it is the daily practice of trying to get myself to slow down, stop filtering and really see. Thank you @theoldbailey and @theoldbailey.gallery for the opportunity to dive deep. I’m so grateful 🙏 Sun Glyphs Opening Reception April 11th 6-9 The Old Bailey Gallery Birmingham, Alabama . #sunglyphs #reflectedlight #sunlight #urbanphotography #artistresidency
