Exploring the thaumaturgy of thought: where philosophy, art, and matter generate one another.

I’m a writer and philosopher trained as an anthropologist (PhD, Columbia University). My work moves between art theory, metaphysics, and natural philosophy, fields I approach as interlaced strata rather than separate domains. I teach modern and contemporary philosophy, with a focus on planetary thought, at the Institute for Doctoral Studies in the Visual Arts (IDSVA), where I lead seminars, residencies, and dissertation research.

Currently, my thinking unfolds through two parallel projects. Deranged Vivarium, a trilogy of books, studies the presence of lithic, aerial, and entomic life in thought; an experiment in writing that treats ontology as a living terrain. Its companion initiative, The Inchoatum Lab, extends these ideas into pedagogy, forming a workshop for alternative study, speculative fieldwork, and philosophical design.

Across these works, I explore how worlds think through us: how stone, wind, and flesh participate in composition, and how writing itself can become a mode of life-weathering: precise, lucid, and suffused with depth.
