Desktop at HeadQuarters, 2023
Personal Headquarters, 2023- Present
Personal Headquarters was my own studio imagined. I made a two story studio loft where I could imagine myself working on my renders or relaxing on my sofa reading a book or listening to music.
On my desk that you see is a replica of my desk irl, at the time that I made this I was reading the Artist Way by Julia Cameron and I was reading the Creative Act by Rick Rubin. Both of these books were about the spiritual connection to creativity. Another book I was reading that year was Assata Shakur’s autobiography, a book that changed my life.
The second floor is my personal library with books I’ve read and look forward to reading.
Desktop at Headquarters, 2024
Desktop at Headquarters became an ongoing series in which I recorded live screen captures of whatever I was working on at the time. The series offered a glimpse into my process before the projects were shared online.
This has been one of my most personal projects because it’s a render within a render one that mirrors my own life. My work unfolds over long periods of time, and I sometimes feel I’m not sharing as much as I could. So this became a way to weave my work into each other while offering a sneak peak of what I was working on.
The works featured on the screen above are 690 Woodward Records, Maison Kitsune x Cafe Kitsune, & Bathhouse x Aesop. Below screen features Depop x Brooklyn Museum.
