Sincere thank you to @MakersPlace and @ParinHeidari for including my work amongst many other great artists! 🙌🙌

@CARDELUCCI @niftygateway @The33Family ❤️❤️

Twenty-two of my 33 Nifty Gateway editions have moved into private wallets. I love knowing these works are being held onto by collectors who care about digital preservation. That means everything to me.🖤

@CARDELUCCI @verse_works ❤️❤️

My Wild Mustangs are now on verse 🥹 🐴 it’s hard to explain how meaningful this is to me. Thank you @verse_works for taking this initiative to help preserve these unique works of art minted on older shared contracts. It’s a great story that paved the path for my Plates🤍🖤

The flower, a gesture of love and steadiness when things felt fragile. I projected the light of Botto's generative work across its fading petals, photographing the tension between them. Immortal code. Mortal bloom.

@awayiflew Gm! 👏👏❤️

The words from her book were so relatable. A reminder to never stop creating, your work is good enough and enjoy the journey.

Hearing Sally Mann speak at the Getty felt almost sacred, standing in the presence of a voice that deeply influenced my way of seeing. Still processing how moving it was 🤍

Plate 15, Ebbing Tide

@CARDELUCCI 👏👏❤️

I keep returning to this Plate: an abalone shell. Not because it is rare, but because it has always moved through value. Along the California coast, abalone circulated before value had a price. It fed bodies. It traveled inland. Its shell was shaped, worn, exchanged, moving between trade, ritual, and use without ever being reduced to just one role. The shell holds time visibly. Salt-worn. Abraded. Rough skin outside, opalescent flesh within. Pinks, greens, purples catching light only when handled. A beauty that does not perform. It reveals itself slowly, through touch, labor, repetition. Abalone was never just decorative. It moved through systems of exchange where value was relational, felt against the body, heard as shell chimed against shell, carried rather than owned. When I photograph abalone, I am acknowledging its long life as something that circulates, through hands, across land, through meaning. Today, my photographs move differently. They drift through networks, intangible but traceable. As entries on a ledger. Still exchanged. Still collected. Still negotiated. That parallel is not a metaphor I am imposing. It is a pattern repeating itself. We like to call technology a rupture. But more often, it is continuity, ancient behavior expressed through unfamiliar materials. We have always used objects to hold meaning. We have always traded them to signal trust, care, power, memory. The blockchain did not invent this impulse. It clarified it and made our relationships to value harder to look away from. My Plates live in this tension, shell and code, land and network, touch and record. Between ancestral exchange and the speculative present. The abalone reminds me value has never been fixed and has always been relational. The real question is not whether digital art is real but whether we are paying attention to what we are trading and what moves with it.
