Allow me to introduce myself: I’m a museum worker amateur mycologist, freelance art critic, poet, and budding science fiction writer. I’m really interested in histories of environmental art and the impacts of climate change on the built environment. Excited to be here 👋🏻🌱🍄✨
My final piece as a New City Critics fellow at the Architectural League of New York and Urban Design Forum is now live! 🌱
Wrote about how the Alice Austen House is using their Queer Ecologies Garden to educate and protect Staten Island's queer youth 🍄
