Clifton Burt curated a group show for the Portland Trailblazers with over 30 artists at Land Gallery. I submitted an official NBA basketball covered with 7,000 copper-cup sequins and 1 jar of tacky glue. On the ball the numbers 77 are set in Portland Trailblazers colors to commemorate the year they won the NBA World Championship Series.








OVER IT: A collaboration
Our invitation to the gallery opening read:

“Can 18 disparate Portland artists, writers, designers, art directors, fashion designers and illustrators get together and work as a singular unit to make art? Probably not.”

Together we crafted 14 miles of string strung through 2500 eye screws spelling the words:
AFFIRMATIONS, INSULTS, and BANTER.
