NEWS

AUGUST 2005:

I have now received my MFA. I spent the summer pretending to job hunt, but my heart wasn't in it as the only job I wanted was to work at Ryman Arts. I have now been offered the position of Education Specialist at Ryman and I start at the end of the month.

APRIL 2005:

"Virginity" in the new issue of the Polvo magazine. You can download the pdf of my page if you click here.
I have now moved to Echo Park and am very happy. Next month is my MFA show at UCSB and in June I graduate. Go to links and projects (above) for further information on related events.

FEBRUARY 2005:

I'm moving as of March 8, right when my last full-time quarter of school ends. If you'd like my new address, just let me know.

JANUARY 2005:

The thesis is halfway done, and this is my last full-time quarter at school. I'm currently finishing up last quarter's projects, and starting at least one new one: a weekly series of photographs of Jesse's studio (see image on home page).

NOVEMBER 2004:

My thesis is about how objects can contain and transmit human energy, and adopt a personality of their own.

OCTOBER 2004:

It was a wonderful and busy summer, the main product of which was In Strangers' Houses. Part 1 showed in Gallery 1434 at UCSB and Part 2 will come out in January (watch this space!). This quarter I'm learning to program (Perl) at the same time as I'm learning to set type (letterpress) - I'm covering several centuries of communication technology at once.

JUNE 2004:

Pictures from Maine.

My first year of grad school is over, and I'm so happy summer is here. There seems to be some sort of especially viral strain of Spring Fever here in Santa Barbara. I'm spending the last two weeks of June at the Maine Photographic Workshops, and visiting Karen, who is now officially an osteopath. When I return I will be an expert at using a view camera and I will be newly in touch with my spine.

APRIL 2004:

Spring quarter is just beginning, and the serious weather is setting in. Perfect sky, perfect sea breeze, perfect sun. It's hard to imagine a more beautiful place to live.

I'm a TA for Visual Literacy again this term. See what we're up to here.

MARCH 2004:

New projects.

My second quarter of grad school is finishing - only one year and one quarter left to go. I have a feeling I'll just get the hang of school right about the time it's over.

Turning 29 this month and still waiting for my fancy Nikon D100 digital SLR to arrive in the mail. Lots of new pictures once that comes, though my old digital camera turned out not to be broken after all, but simply faking it as an attention-seeking measure.

A couple more postcards have dribbled in from the Diaspora project, though not from mysterious strangers but rather from charming friends.

JANUARY 2004:

I've started my second quarter of school and a new TAship, this time for Photography. I've fully nested in my studio, and I'd post a picture of such if my digital camera hadn't broken. I'll have a new, fancy one soon and you will be very excited with all the new pictures.

NOVEMBER 2003:

Recent photos.

I'm all settled into school now - that's me playing darts outside my studio. Classes end December 3rd and don't start again until January 5th, so if I seem to have disappeared don't worry - I'll be back soon.

School is the only news. School is all I do. I love it.


OCTOBER 2003:

Excerpts from "Memorial for the Skylight Diaspora" are featured in in the current issue issue of the literary art journal, ZYZZYVA - check me out!

Ijust moved to Santa Barbara - lucky me!  Contact me if you'd like my new information.

I've started the MFA program in Studio Art at UC Santa Barbara. My studio is under the bleachers.

There's a late addition to the Diaspora responses! I got a postcard from a Jim Keating who bought Songbook by Nick Hornby, found my postcard inside and sent it in right away. But the exciting thing is that he didn't buy it at Skylight, he bought it used at Amoeba! A diaspora indeed!
