General

I don't want to miss anything you're up to, how do I keep up to date?

You could sign up for my email newsletter, check back to my Now Page, which I update every month or three, or check out my social media (LinkedIn, Instagram, or Bluesky). I don't always update everything, and not all professional activities are open to the public.

Classes and Workshops

I want to hire you to run a workshop, how do I do that?

Right now classes and workshops are on hold. If this changes I'll update here.

Reaching Out

I have burning questions about how to make a life in the arts. Will you answer them?

No. Currently I'm unavailable to provide career advice. Questions about career are important and matter. I believe the arts are still an economically viable path for artists. I am not currently offering consultations. Some resources if you're looking for artist career advice, Springboard for the Arts Artist Career Consultants. This is a great way to access knowledge from artists with expertise in a variety of forms and with different focuses. Consults are free or low-cost for Minnesotans. If you want to set up a consult this consult request form is the best place to start. In addition, Creative Capital is a great resource.

Art Projects

The below are some of the questions I get most frequently about my art practice.

Collage

I know you mostly as a writer, and my friend knows you mostly as a performer, how long have you been making collage?

I've been playing with collage for a very long time, and had always been a bit shy about sharing it as part of my professional practice, especially because sometimes there is stigma around interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary work. I love making collage and it's important to me to share it, especially because many of the same obsessions come through, but in different ways.

Where can I find your collage?

Check out my Instagram.

What part of your practice makes the most money?

Generally I have viewed business models, customer lists and the like as trade secrets within my art business. That's it. That's the answer. Full stop.

Performance

I don't think I've seen a full list of all your performance credits? Where can I see a full list?

Like lots of artists with decades of experience I've been super low key about parts of my practice. Sometimes this is because I don't fully align with the politics, sometimes it's bacause no one has time for a 70 page CV. I really adore Lorraine O'Grady's website and I absolutely aspire to her level of disclosure and archival completeness. Yet, this isn't what I'm up to currently. It may never be.

Have you ever [insert whatever here] on stage?

I find this question as much a trade secret as the how do you make money question. If you're curious if I'd do something on stage I guess you should send a serious inquiry. If you're not in the position to produce an event and you are just curious, remember that there are thousands of secrets in all the universe you might find valuable to know something about. You might start at your local library, or perhaps your favorite bar.
