Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

Under Sun
Under Sun was made by splicing together light leaks from assorted reels of found 8mm footage. The light that was captured is from anywhere between 1935-1965. It has been slowed down to better highlight the unique painterly abstraction of every frame, while frayed edges, hair, and dust draw attention to the film as material.Added on: July 28, 2021
Latitudes
Latitudes is an installation, video work, and text of the same name. The installation was composed of wall-to-wall plaster wave-form tiles. The tiles were designed to break under the weight of bodies walking across them to view the video embedded into the far wall. The video contains a single durational scene of overlapping waves. A white sailboat crosses Lake Huron. Narrative and diaristic fragments appear on the horizon, as the mind is seen pulled in and out of an undertow of past and present memories. Latitudes refers to the horse latitudes, a region 30° N and 30° S of the equator, where the crews of becalmed ships threw horses overboard to conserve water. Ideas around consuming and being consumed —by the lake, by love, by a person—are remembered, as lovers become waves, plaster, horses, dead weight, fruit, and everything is subsumed.
