SiP Blog
Sequences, Iterations, and Permutations (SiP) is a network of artists, a collective, and a class. I founded SiP in 2020 and we meet 30 out of 52 weeks a year. Over 300 people have taken the class over the years and there are about 50 collective members.
This webpage is under construction and much more will be added soon. This has been the description of the SiP class that I have used for a long time:
Explore sequences, iterations, and permutations (SiP) in contemporary art and throughout history. Instead of art making that leads to one thing, this class is about making collections of artworks that cumulatively express an artist’s project, tell a story, depict an emotion, or communicate an idea. Using a variety of mediums from drawing, painting, collage, sculpture, and photography, students will make groups of images in drafts, exploring how image and object making are influenced by time based mediums. Through presentations, exercises, discussions, weekly homework, and critique, this class is a deep investigation into process, the structure of images, and sequencing. SiP explores how working iteratively (building upon previous forms, where information is lost and gained through making) can help artists’ creative process.
Overall, SiP is about making in groups of things.
Recently, in 2025, we started a blog with the help of Liam Shaw. Explore this new SiP Blog here:

Finally, this is a link to an exhibition SiP had at the Hyde Park Art Center in 2022 including 42 artists that I curated:
