Hello, I’m JD. I work as an artist and I also teach and write, among other things. This site is supposed to be the place where I show you what I do, but web design always needs some kinda informational taxonomy — boxes, chronologies — and I’ve never found a way to put it together so it all felt right. Maybe because everything you encounter online exists in a kind of forever-present that makes it feel both entirely current and kinda been/done at once. This makes a lot of sense in quantum physics and certain other cosmologies, and it makes sense to me, too, but it feels bad trying to fit all that experiential data into little boxes as the architecture asks. Meanwhile it feels like many of us could use more practice in holding the quantum timeline as we’re trying to style it out as mortal bodies on the planet Earth. This is something we have in common. Feels like a good start.

Anyway, this is my latest attempt at furnishing this little piece of rented real estate and perhaps also my last, since I keep letting this site expire. So, instead of doing the whole thing where I pretend there’s been some kind of linear progression or a set of defining moments by which to make my choices look coherent, I’ll just point you to my little branded storage locker over on the current free app people are using to post their career highlights and whatever else. It ain’t exactly quantum physics, but I’d rather do almost anything else in my one life than hang out in the back catalogue while there’s still so much interesting stuff to think about and explore, especially when the evolution of the present tends to change the way we understand the past. And if all that doesn’t serve you what you came here for, then any big search engine probably knows more about the entity advertised on this page than I do. Just don’t believe all you read, yeah? It’s a madness out there.

Stay complex,

XO
JD
