Tidal Tear Sediment
Water has been shaping our existence for as long as there has been an “us” to speak of. It is everywhere and always in motion. Planetary waters and the waters within human bodies merge and mingle, dissolving boundaries between species and ecosystems, and impacting both human and non-human worlds.

Gene’s Gold
In the spring of 2008, Joshua Abelow had just graduated from the Cranbrook Academy of Art with his MFA and I had just graduated from Rutgers University with my BFA. The Great Recession was in full swing, but a young intellectual with a sense of humor gave at least half of the U.S. population a […]

With the Heaviest Weight On
Weight pulls us towards the ground, reminds us where we stand, and forces us to carry ourselves forward. Sometimes, it’s the weight of memory or loss. Other times, it’s something small—a misplaced object, a lingering regret, or a stubborn habit. We collect memories, objects, and stories, often unconsciously, and they quietly pile up. The real […]
