Fever Dreams at WAM

October 29, 2025

In Spring 2026 I’ll debut a new body of work developed in collaboration with my partner-in-all-things, Andrew Yang. Our exhibition "Fever Dreams of a Cool-Breathed Earth” for the Worcester Museum of Art (WAM) is a multi sensory reflection on climate-driven extreme heat, exploring the deeply material and figurative relationship of our bodies to the changing planetary body as complex systems in transformation. For the past year and a half we’ve been drawing, sculpting, recording endangered sounds, and hosting conversations with scientists, teens, gardeners, and other community members in the Worcester, MA region.

Get a behind-the-scenes look at our process through the forthcoming book “Facing the Elements” (published by Hirmer and distributed by University of Chicago Press), which pairs our work with a parallel exhibition of historical prints at WAM engaging themes of weather and climate. The book features essays, studio images, interviews, and layered interventions.
