I am an artist, a scholar and a writer. On a perfect day I write in the morning, paint in the afternoon and do research all of the time. I I like to explore a question across diverse media and modalities and in changing locations. I often conceive unlikely mixtures of materials to provoke emotion, thought and consciousness. I make installations, often with silk. I design collaborative and participatory projects and performances, espcially with "The Moving Matters Traveling Workshop" which I founded and direct.
