wedding certificate

mixed media on paper. Pre-signatures. For Andrew and Anna's wedding in Austin!

15 years plus 6 [working title]

idea: a museum exhibit of my relationships with alex and with kate, culminating in an offshoot room of their relattionship (without me) -- possibly roped off or onted as "site undr construction". Each item in the exhibit ( which would run chronologically and maybe the room including alex's exhibit has to branch off kate's room at the appropriate time ( or JOIN kate's room). each item/photo/video/artifcat/ audio tape should be labled as it would by a curator. Thee's should be an audio tour. It should be real when possible, and invented when necessary. And after ido this, maybe it will help me put it all behind me, one way or another.

Project Grants

I need to start drafting a proposal for a specific project. The NYFA website is always giving me options for grants and or residencies to apply for, but I have no " application". So what do I want to do?

I thought about applying for a version of my Blood Wedding...but what texts (etc) are interesteing to me. I feel the need to be creating my own art if Im going to remain in NY.

What do I love:
radio lab
this american life (human stories interwoven, told in an interesting manner...)

just realizing watching kurosawa's dreams: what it means to be a leader. It is far easier to tell someone else they are wrong when they are leading you, than to be the brave one leading. and yet, someone always has to lead.

i dont feel any connection to a greater wise community i was born into. Maybe that is because i haven't listened to it. ( think of the baby shower). i have been so long gone from the community i was born into that i look down my nose at it. maybe its time to open my eyes and see it anew.

how could this manifest itself? at least in the short term?
