I am one half of Oo-PS, a collaborative research & design practice working across scales to produce narrative-driven artwork, writing, music & objects as ways of anticipating sets of future socio-environmental challenges & designing theoretical methods to meet them.

I write, record, produce & occasionally perform music under the alias Shrinking Violet, a project that modulates between ambient, dreampop & indie rock in an effort to create music about memory, distance & uncertainty.

Greyscale City
Athens, GR
Linework Exercises The organized chaos that makes up my hometown of Athens has fascinated me for years. Greyscale City is a series that celebrates the disorder of the urban environment, & demonstrates that among the chaos exists an implicit uniformity in the group form that mediates the madness of the city.

To create a sense of endlessness & multitude, I created pieces with skewed perspectives, that either include various vanishing points, or none at all. I chose to work without color to allow the linework to be emphasized.
