One Billion Acts of Kindness

One Million Acts of Resistance

This project places small interventions into public and shared space, where they are subject to removal, movement, and

reinterpretation.




Objects and messages are distributed by myself and others, then left to circulate without authorship or control.




Some works are taken down immediately. Others are absorbed into their environment - relocated,

repurposed, or quietly maintained. Recognition travels farther than placement.


Responses are uneven.

In some spaces, the work is welcomed.


In others, it is removed.




Interventions take multiple forms. Some are placed in open, heavily trafficked environments. Others are quieter -

into library books, where they are encountered alone, discovered rather than announced.


New interventions emerge within the conditions of daily life. Recent work includes chalked messages along popular

trails in Des Moines - marks that fade through weather and contact.




The work is not the object, but what happens to it.
