Projects that make known the unspoken rules of polite society.

Four diagrams depicting crowd patterns before a band performs.

Spoilerplates

Set of six plates with archetypal spoilers common across cinema. Made for a theoretical dinner party of mixed company.

Milestones

List of normal human accomplishments, according to internet lists, baby books, and personal experience. Book pages are staggered along the spine, stitched and bound into signatures. Book is designed to be read in a non-linear fashion.

Currency

Mimicking the size and format of U.S. monetary notes, the book can be read in two directions that reference the ways in which money is handled. One, as a flipbook animation, and the other is read as if one is counting bills in a folded stack. It was created for 2015 Plug Projects’ Art Book Fair in Kansas City Missouri.

Pomp

Suite of diagrams and illustrations that capture the traditional movements of daily court proceedings.

How to Be Left Alone

A video that provides techniques for convincing others to leave you alone while in the public sphere.

Work From The Outside In

A guide for presenting the proper service for all-dessert-course meals. Made for 'Dessert', part three of Dori Latman's Fritos and Champagne, which emphasized the conversations and social aspects of eating and cooking with a round table discussion at Adobe Backroom Gallery in San Francisco, California. Presented in conjunction with a homemade traditional Austrian kugelhopf, and a brief lecture about the history of dining behaviors in Western Culture, during show opening at Adobe Bookstore on May 19, 2010.
