Ringing the Temple Bell is a performance, a workshop, a lecture and a manifesto. I will include in-process images, text and video from the making of the piece. Can art be transformative or is it simply a commodity? How can we break the chains of inherited categories of art making and its reception? The vibrations of the temple bell reverberate into the wider world.

2019 John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship!
I am so proud to be awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship this year. I will be working on John Brown’s Vision on the Scaffold. The work will be part of a solo exhibition at the Schneider Museum of Art in October 2020 and Orange County Museum of Art in September 2019.

Ditching toxic solvents in the studio for all oil clean up and thinning. Suddenly my work space is less cluttered and smells better. #nontoxicstudiopractice #cleaneroilpainting #nomorebraincellstospare (at NW Marine Art Works) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtbrJ9Xg30P/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17dd697786xph

Just got my John Brown’s Body book back from the printer. I’m so excited to hold it. It contains a series of short essays and ink drawings from my summer residency in Waterford, Virginia. Beautiful graphic design by @tschlapp of #cumbersomemultiples. Thanks @scoutbooks for the printing and great service. Thanks to Oregon Arts Commission and Ford Family Foundation for funding. I will continue this work at a residency in May @macdowellcolony. If you want a copy early subscribe to Fresh Ink from #cumbersomemultiples. This will be included along with other great hand printed work. Follow the link from @tschlapp. #waterfordvirginia #civilwar #johnbrown #essays #scoutbooks #blockprint #letterpress #artistresidency #oregonartscomission #fordfamilyfoundation
