Why subscribe?

I can’t tell you why, but I hope you’ll consider it. Becoming a free subscriber means you and I will have a direct line of communication. Becoming a paid subscriber means you will be supporting a unique voice in the wilderness of ideas.

What this is

A Secret Plot is a multi-media project, but it is first and foremost an idea. It’s a journal about art, and obscure things like dungeon synth, hauntology, digital ghosts, but also things like politics, culture, and philosophy (where Zizek references abound). A Secret Plot is also a contemporary micro art gallery with a focus on the new, the strange and emerging art from within the community where it exists.

What you’ll get

An article or essay about every week or two or three (depending on how busy I am at my day job) directly into your inbox and access to everything in the archive. A Secret Plot sometimes publishes essays by other writers and artists, and it takes time to do research and editing. Every time something of mine gets published elsewhere, I will also publish it here, so you won’t need to go and scour the internet.

Who am I?

I’m a painter, installation artist and curator. I’ve shown work throughout the US and Europe and earned my MFA from UC Santa Barbara. I write art reviews and essays for LUM Art Zine, The Ojai Vortex, The Independent, 3 AM, and The Philosophical Salon among others.
