Designer Dogs
Designer Dogs, 2026. This project came together spontaneously after learning that a hydro dipping workshop was being hosted at Columbus State University by artist Cooper Holoweski https://www.cooperholoweski.com/ @cooperholo, who generously opened the session to students and faculty alike. I modeled and 3D printed a series of 18 full-size hotdog beads for the occasion. We printed the hydro film on the large format printer and together with my students applied the Louis Vuitton monogram to each one as a group demo. The finished hotdogs were sealed with clear coat and strung on pink macramé cord, with hand-tied knots between each bead to space and secure them, completing the piece as a fully linked chain of luxury glizzies. Designer Dogs is equal parts collaboration, absurdity, and commentary on the nature of luxury.
Swine and Dine
Swine and Dine, 2025. Swine and Dine is a set of five canned ham lamps designed and fabricated by Christine Cannon, a project born from a simple and irresistible goal: to make it real.
The Swine and Dine Canned Ham first appeared in the Garbaggio painting series, and this body of work is the natural extension of that fictional brand into the physical world. The cans and hams were 3D modeled and printed in PLA, then painted, finished with custom-designed labels, and sealed in epoxy. LED lights installed inside each ham illuminate the pink plastic from within, casting the kind of warm, rosy glow that only a quality canned meat product can provide. The branding, an exercise in deadpan sincerity, was its own distinct pleasure to design.
Shell Gas Light
Fossil Fools & Gas Lights, Shell Gas Sign 2023
This piece is part of an ongoing body of work examining water quality and planetary health through a series of paintings and sculptures that parody the visual identities of major gas companies. The *Fossil Fools & Gas Lights* series takes direct aim at industries that have spent decades working to suppress public understanding of global warming and the environmental consequences of fossil fuel production, reframing their familiar, trusted logos as the punchline they deserve.
