My interest is in the diagnostics of the cultural moment, whether that is in the political, social, or creative realm. I am interested in sense, as in the sense of things, as well as in why things do or do not make sense. I am interested in the “trace” of Derrida – the almost hidden or elusive ‘mark’ that gives us the clue to whom we are.
