While I’m mostly back to painting now, I am still interested in select photo, film or performative projects if you are really cool/nice/interesting and if there might be a fun or really creatively interesting way for us to collaborate.

That being said, I’m only able to accept purely creative/non-transactional collaborations at this point- aka not paying me, and me not paying you, and figuring out any potential expenses together. If you are a paid only model, I totally get and respect that, but will be unable to participate in that way.

I'm a published photographer, filmmaker and painter (and formerly a member of Stuckism). I directed a fair amount of theater projects when I was younger, and after years of Covid and working from home I would really like to explore new performance-based, in person collaborations again- for any of you interested in that. Working alone has its benefits, but I miss people.

Interests: authenticity, undefinable small moments, addressing the shadow, improvisation, photogénie (Jean Epstein), sculpting in time (Tarkovsky), Theatre of Cruelty and Antonin Artaud, impressionism, German Expressionism, capturing internal energies and states of being- religious or sexual ecstasy, madness, other extreme emotions; self confrontation, and the aesthetics associated with Remodernism.

Other specific interests: atmospheric gothic horror esp. vampires (think Jean Rollin or FW Murnau rather than contemporary gothic); impressionistic moody/emotive erotica, doppelgängers; 19th & early 20th century maritime imagery- sailors, shipwrecked ghosts, mermaids; Georges Bataille; Leopold von Sacher-Masoch; Knut Hamsun; Georges Rodenbach; Rilke; duration, the inhabitants of Dostoyevsky novels; Rainer Maria Rilke; the accursed poets (Verlaine, Rimbaud, Baudelaire, etc), fin de siecle decadence, memento mori... I'll stop here for now...


Friend requests

Up until now I had basically approved all friend requests, but from now on I'm only interested in accepting them from people who want to collaborate or who are interested in my work- and on the flipside I'm only going to send friend requests to people I wish to collaborate with or who's work interests me. If for some reason I've sent you a FR but have not messaged you or commented on your profile (usual due to an interruption from my cats or something similar) it's safe to assume that I think your stuff is interesting and wish to collaborate.
