"COIN RACING"
"Coin Racing" was a collaboration between myself and my frequent collaborator Walker Mack. It garnered attention from Champlain College's official paper "The Crossover," and took the student body by storm, with nearly 50 people consistently attending every week for 5 total meetings. While Coin Racing certainly got bigger than we ever thought it would, and it means many different things to many different people, to me, Coin Racing was always a social experiment/performance about capitalism, community, and absurdity.
Read the article below for a brief description of the public's perception on Coin Racing.

Below is a documentary made by Jasper Nolin, which contains a brief summary of Coin Racing, as well as footage and interviews from the first official coin race.
"PANDAJAKEY LOVES FLUXUS"
"Pandajakey Loves Fluxus" was a performance piece inspired by the Fluxus movement, in which I created a song entirely with found sound that I recorded during a gallery opening. The piece had a heavy emphasis on audience participation and leaned heavily on improvisation.
"YUCKY"
"YUCKY" was my first experience with designing art for clothes. It was a drawing I made, which I then printed onto a t-shirt, which I then did a photoshoot with. If you are interested in purchasing a "YUCKY" shirt, please reach out or go to my teepublic storefront!
"AMERICAN BACKYARD"
I have always had a fascination with picket fences. I often write about them in my music, draw them in my sketchbook, and think about them when i walk past. This project was a deep dive into that obsession. "AMERICAN BACKYARD" was my capstone project for my creative media BFA at Champlain college. It was displayed in the Champlain College Art Gallery at one of its most attended openings to date. A combination of music, animation, illustration, and sculpture, this piece was made to reflect my personal views of modern American culture and suburban paranoia. The video below would be looping on a CRT tv, set up in a space meant to feel like a facade of a backyard, as shown in the photographs.
