Curator provocation--

The woman dreams of becoming complete by uniting all
of her mirror-clones into a shared future mind of
infinite orgasmic speech and perfect functionality.
Yet femaleness is the force of dispersal (Knowledge).

I'm part of an upcoming performance/installation/event/big crazy collaboration called "The Swan Catchers" I've been working on the installation and costume design and will do some kind of performance for the event. It's going to be a lot of fun. Come check it out! Information below.

I will be in an upcoming show at Deadtech. The show is about Gender and Technology. I'm going to bring my pop-up studio (womb) and turn the inside into a forest. (Yes, lots of meaning to pick apart here.) Let me know if you'll be in Chicago and want to spend a day in the studio!

Bert Stabler wrote a great essay about my work in the Feb/Mar issue of NY Arts Magazine.
