Welcome!
I’m from Arizona but live in Brooklyn, New York. In recent years I’ve written on art, film, and books—I especially enjoy pieces about misunderstood styles, failed aesthetic experiments, artworks at war with themselves, and forgotten literary curmudgeons.
My writing has appeared in The New Yorker, the New York Times, Art in America, The Drift, The Nation, The Baffler, and other places. My essay, “Thinking the Worst of Ourselves,” for The Hedgehog Review, was listed in the 2022 Best American Essays anthology. To date, my proudest achievement is being runner-up in a fake orgasm contest at a midnight Rocky Horror screening.
