From William Blake’s illuminated ontology to The Cherokee Phoenix, from Laura Tohe’s operatic reimaginings to the sonic poetics of Sigur Rós and Hozier, I engage the political and metaphysical stakes of representation—particularly where artistic form bears witness to breakdown and survivance.
I currently serve as instructor in Art History, Visual Culture, and in the Humanities at Loyola University Chicago. My work is grounded in critical dialogue with phenomenology, deconstruction, post-Romantic theory, and speculative materialism—and committed to making philosophy audible in and through cultural practice.
