Psycho-geographies

During Covid and the fires of 2020, I revisited my past studios as a meditation on life changes, ideas, time, space, and making things. This was mostly a grounding excercise and an excuse to dig around in the archive, though I’ve long been fascinated with the Situationist approach to the idea of psychogeographies, and how it points to the intertwining of perception, art and life.

20th and South Van Ness 

My partner and I rented this gigantic Victorian flat back in 2004. I spent 4 months developing the idea that ended up being FluffyCo for the next 15 years.

Located behind a boutique that sold clothes by independent designers, vintage objects and old-timey candy

This gorgeous brick building also housed the famous Emigre type foundry (whose holiday parties we loved to crash).

We rennovated this space and ended up staying for over 7 years. I ended up leaving because I couldn’t tak the commute.

I made posters in the living room and on the balcony of our giant apartment

During graduate school I loved having my own studio in San Francisco, but loved the iconic shared textile studios in Oakland even more.

A cavernous space with my favorite neighbor– a baby goat in the guerilla farm/empty lot two doors down
