jurtakaShrines are a collection of unique .glbs and videos developed in New Orleans, LA and composed while hiking the Latvian portion of Baltic Coastal trail in 2022. They are available as NFTs minted on a custom Manifold contract below.
I wrote about the experience of the trail in this Medium article and I wrote about the technical process of creating these pieces in this Mirror entry.

This project was created as part of ASEFFC, an international online/IRL residency which reflects on the precarity and uncertainty that art workers face. And asks “How can we find space for expression and creation in a world of changing circumstances?” My intention was to create a studio-less process in which I could produce work while hiking 300 km of the Jūrtaka, in Latvia.
ASEFCC was curated by Maija Rudovska and the greater project was supported by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Latvian Culture Capital Foundation, Arts Council Norway, Viken County Municipality, U.S. Embassy in Latvia.
