Cleaned up my garage for a studio visit. Getting ready to pack a lot of stuff up for Chicago show.
For a lot of my art life, I’ve made things that I am passionate about but are not easy for people to buy/collect ( video, installations, kinetic sculpture). It’s interesting to experience a different side of things with this 2d fabric work.

Wrote a little remembrance of my time working & sharing a studio w/Beatriz da Costa (Shani) for the recent posthumous show/catalog of her work, “Beatriz da Costa:(un)disciplinary tactics” @welcometolace currently up in LA. Publication on @mitpress
I worked with her on a couple different projects (“Zapped” and “Nomadika”) in the early 2000s when we were both at @cmuschoolofart —-Ah, the good ole days!

Had the most incredible time as an #artistinresidence in Washington state. So soothing and productive-it’s what I’ve needed for a long time. How can I move there?!
Cycling to see Mt Rainier, kayaking in the water w/seals, admiring the incredible dahlias, working working on a new animation. Total bliss.

Sound ON…First in a series of very short shorts in which different objects free themselves of their contents.

@fiberclubdetroit exhibition is a total hit! Of course I forgot to photograph my work at the opening, but here’s the basic gist.
8 fiber works and 1 animation hidden in the closet.
Thanks to all that made this happen!
