"The Pit," 2022

Plastic balls, cardboard, misc couchesEgan et al. labored for months (2, to be precise) to complete this avant-garde masterpiece, archetypal of the "Camp" style, rampant in the 2020's with artists of the Zed generation. In an allusion to the universe, "The Pit" contains multitudes, tiny spheres that compose the fabric of a whole - impotent, trivial, and repugnant alone - but extraordinary in composition, the whole much greater than its mere parts.The perimeters of this piece consist of miscellaneous lounging apparatuses, conveying a modern take on the classic conversation pit, a nod to humanity and civilization - the discourse and comradery in contemporary symposium that distinguishes humankind from mere beasts. This structure encompasses the focal point of the piece, the pit, as humanity and the universe, at once both dissonant and enraptured, are thrust together as one.To quote Egan herself on the inspiration behind this tour de force, "I've never met a room that wouldn't be better with a few thousand balls in it."

Schtickers

Like a contemporary court jester, I make stickers memeing the leaders of today.

Beancame The World's Preeminent Beanfluencer

Put up ~100 cryptic bean-themed flyers that linked to a silly survey, got 700 QR code scans and 300 responses in two weeks. Worked my data analysis magic on the results and picked two lucky winners and sent them on a one-way flight to Chicago to see The Bean and then stay there forever.

SF Scavenger Hunt

Collaborated on an SF-wide scavenger hunt that over 2k people played, with 300 making it to the finale. Created the viral promo described as "really weird guerrilla marketing" and clue #8, a fake book. Can now technically say I'm a published author in bookstores.

the finale!

Turned my house into a historical walking tour

After visiting a historical house walking tour in Alaska, I thought, "I could do that." So I did, mostly made of inside jokes you wouldn't get but anyone with a landlord could probably relate to this one (which marks our antique refrigerator).
