copyright and image courtesy of Patrick Heagney
Convergent Frequencies was a group exhibition, curated by the i45 collective, involving myself and two other Atlantan artists Matt Gilbert and Matt Haffner. A vacant parcel on Krog street, where the two neighborhoods of the Old Fourth Ward (O4W) and Inman Park (IP) converge, was used as a platform to explore these neighborhoods, their spatial and...

This diagram maps out industrial water usage in the state.
Notice the relationship between A the amount of energy produced with a finite source (see georgia diagrams 001), and B the amount of water used to produce this energy in the overlay below:
Take for example Putnam county, which consumes the most water out of any other county - 9,867,400 gallons a day. Out of the total amount of...

what thing is this place?
What thing is this place was a competition submission, in collaboration with Kiem Ho, for the 2009 Rotterdam Biennale. As an exploration into the future of Jakarta - a vast, expanding and erupting metropolis - we were asked to envision a future for the city, and how it could potentially deal with its infrastructure and transportation problems. With most mega cities, infrastructure cannot match...

marta
I redrew the MARTA subway map, thinking it would be interesting to subtly change information on it, print full scale and install on subway cars. This iteration switches stop names, for expample the “Buckhead” stop is now “Bankhead,” “Five Points” is now “Chamblee” and “Vine City” is now “Lindbergh Center.” I thought it was...

beltline walks
Me and some friends have been gradually walking the entire beltline, a 22 mile aggregate loop of train rail in Atlanta. Most of it is not used, but CSX is still using parts along the north and west rails. The city is turning parts of it into walkable paths this Spring, so these parts will never again look the way they look now.

getting to work
At the design firm I work at, some of us were interested in seeing how we travel to and from work on a daily basis. We performed a poll asking some basic questions regarding their travel methods. Interestingly, the majority of people that answered the poll live within three miles of work, and a lot of these people walk.
Along with answering how close you live from work, each person answered...

book
I finished a book last month that documents some work. It has a diversity to it: showing work in all sorts of disciplines and media, and through it’s collage-like, mixed up structure, some actual sense starts to emerge. It was a great exercise and experience to revisit some of these projects, redeveloping their stories after having time away from them. It made me think of the possible...
