UC Berkeley Alumni Magazine Commission: Articles of Faith

Study Guide for Experimental Contemplatives Volumes 1-3 explore the expressive possibilities of performance, experimental liturgies, and group study guides. The inside spreads incorporate scanned images of largely blank old texts and song book spreads modified with sparse drawings and notations. Originally commissioned by UC Berkeley’s Alumni Magazine, this work was later developed into a three-volume series as part of a Visiting Artist Residency at Stanford University’s Experimental Media Art Lab. Volume 1 was also featured on Frequencies, an online collaborative genealogy of spirituality, curated by  Kathryn Lofton and John Lardas Modern for the Social Science Research Council, Brooklyn, NY. / www.MMD.CA
