(photo by Rainer) Here I was on Sunday, delivering my birds to Artstream and getting butterflies that this show is really about to happen. And while I was there, Susan interviewed me for her podcast. So now I am adding my voice to this little journal, my talking voice. How strange! If you’d like toRead More →

I spent some time separating the bodies of work and thinkingRead More →
