April 17, 2021 performance for High Beams exhibition at the Bendix building in downtown Los Angeles.

Entwining barley, the most ancient Sumerian money, with today’s blockchain poses values outside the delirious US dollar. While the sensual form and nourishment of barley contrasts with the elegant conceptual abstraction of bitcoin, both provoke fundamental social questions.
