Teaching, Training, & Consulting

Artwork & Exhibits

Currently I am working on a series called "ent". It explores ideas of translation and authorship.
A list of exhibitions from the last ten years is online including some links to documentation and photos of some of the work.

Recently finished up work on the High-rise Evacuation Learning Platform (H.E.L.P.) project. It is a simulation and training application that is built with the Unreal Engine 2 Runtime.
