Grounded-- Pulsating
During the winter of 2023-2024, radio uncertainty operated from my studio at the Provincetown Fine Arts Work Center. The station was open for the community, functioning in a random and spontaneous manner, accommodating the signals from the collective and the act of falling between frequencies. Grounded-- Pulsating presents these signals, translated into video, prints, home-made radio receivers, and a love letter to (radio) uncertainty.

Beyond the Beyond,
an otherwhere—
grid of old-growth
+ graphite, shadow-
strokes.
We fueled
the prairie-fire, our engine
for art in afterburn
toward burnout,
exhaust, exhausted, hot
to the touch.

chalk on a found chalkboard
Dimensions 300cm x 123cm
Shrug off your
everyday-skin,
callused by the
frictions + deep-push
of capitalism. Put on
a Cetacean way of being.
Become part
of a collective
celebrating in useless
practices + undoings—
passivities done for
pleasure despite progress
+ green-gain.
