U.S. President Barack Obama's presidential campaign and ensuring presidency have been largely built on the idea that the American public wants change. But fundamental questions remain. Who gets to decide what changes his presidency puts in to effect? Who exactly will these changes benefit? Using these questions as the starting point, this collaborative project with Sarah Wylie Ammerman personalizes Obama's rallying cry by asking participants to answer, in one word, the question: "What is the one thing in your life that you most hope would change?"

The second in the Taking Stock Photo series with Sarah Wylie Ammerman. In this interation, disparate groups are asked to draw an animal that looks like them andprovide a one work response to what they hope 2009 will be like for them.

A collaboration with Sarah Wylie Ammerman in which we created non-traditional self-portraits for attendees to take home with them at a meeting of the Trampoline Hall Lecture series.

Conversation Pieces is borne out of the belief that many of the ills plaguing today's society can be attributed to the fundamental lack of meaningful communication between people. The project addresses this issue by providing a forum for people to share ideas and have asynchronous dialogues without requiring them to physically interact in real time or to know the person they are conversing with. The chalkboards were eventually removed by the city in the Fall of 2007.

Counting for Ruby illuminates the excessive amounts of discrimination and violence that transgender people are subjected to in our culture. It also is meant to serve as a running memorial for Ruby Rodriguez, a murdered transgender sex worker. By keeping her memory alive, the project seeks to proliferate the idea that hate crimes against trasngender people are not acceptable and that her murder remains unsolved. The project was eventually removed in late 2007 by the city.

This project attempts to augment popular history and to create asynchronous dialog with facts and ideas that are contributed not by the status quo, but rather by individuals by archiving the instllation of self-made historical plaques that commemorate details of personal, familial, and communal histories.
