my name is sel (they/them) :)
Professionally i am a graphic and web (and basically anything) designer (my client portfolio) but on this site ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i'm just tryna have fun
based in the northeast of the usa, and sometimes nova scotia canada. i like biking, collecting specifically ironic garfield memorabilia, watching 2d cartoons (some good ones are: mission hill, rock and rule, the treasure planet), and speculating on the social implications of webspeak and internet culture on society. central themes in my art include being playful and silly, figurative illustration, queer identity, and web culture.
oohhh mystery question mark press it and see what happens oooohhh

have u ever wondered why we use 'lol' all the time? or if emojis will ever take over our language? maybe u want to know why that '.' sounds angry ? well in this book, about the language of the internet, or webspeak, you can find out ! read about the history, the linguistic reasoning and components, and societal implications of webspeak.
a precursor to my thesis; this is an academic style textbook about memes. it chronicles their history, breaks down their formats and humor styles, and poses the question: what even are memes?
this choose-your-own adventure style book gives the reader three different scenarios where they have to navigate through an experience with an asshole. will you come away from the interaction unscathed or will you become an asshole yourself?
a gallery installation made in collaboration with dani dinstman about our experiences with emotional and sexual trauma. the installation centers around an enclosed 'trauma center' surrounded by a metaphorical waiting room, which uses the language often directed at trauma survivors.
a gallery installation made in collaboration with olivia gelard. inspired by the essay "grandmother spider" by rebecca solnit, louise bourgeois, and our own matrilineal lines, the gallery pays homage to the forgotten women throughout history and embraces traditionally feminine art-forms ('''''''''craft''''''''').
this installation was made for a project in my junior typography class (an autobiography in 6 words). i basically spent all my spare time for a week holed up in this room, on 3 cups of coffee and two of those Starbucks Espresso Double Shot™s and scrawled about all of my anxiety and trauma on lined paper then hung those on hemp string. there's also a presentational video.
this wall installation, made entirely of vinyl and gaffer tape, is a teen-magazine-style quiz that will tell you what social media to post on based on the content. the installation comments on the collective understanding of social media nuance and attempts to codify some content classifications.
