brick press
in partnership with nicholas morris, i built this steel tool in 2012 which presses soil or any other compressible material into small bricks scaled to fit comfortably in my hand. since then, the press has been used for numerous artworks and projects.
most recently (2019), i held a brick-making workshop in collaboration with rosa novak and kate pruitt at mutual stores in oakland. members of the public could choose from an array of pulp from local printing presses and create their own paper bricks to take home with them. we also invited artists carissa potter, j. sherlock norheim, torreya cummings, lukaza branfman-verissimo, ken becker, amy nathan, shushan tesfuzigta, carrie hott, and tracy ren to contribute special artist edition bricks which were made available for sale.
