Six Months Recap - March - August 2020
September 3, 2020Straight to the (bullet) point(s):
[To be honest, my first thought was to skip this entire recap altogether, pick a random spot on the timeline and start there but the lack of continuity would’ve bothered me. I’ve started countless drafts for this update but wasn’t happy with any of them. I tried to address the pandemic and the lockdown, along with some personal heartbreak, but nothing looked right so I’m cutting all the ‘extra’ words]
- March - this one we skip.
- April - some nice quarantine-projects started popping up. I participated in a few, my favorites being: Shelter and Place (they closed submissions a while back) and Shits’ Fucked (this seems abandoned, but was really nice at the time; link to my page)
- May - I have a ~ten page spread in Diafano Magazine . Direct link: here.
- June: I signed up (again) for the yearly Poetry Marathon (and completed it, of course) - 24 poems in 24 hours, one poem per hour. One of the poems (Cattail) has been selected for the upcoming anthology (Fall 2020)
- July: My profile on Hansford And Sons EAP went live.
- August: My Blue Leaf Orange and catalogs were presented at Artbox Project Zurich 2.2 / Swiss Art Expo , August 20-24. My catalogs (Zurich edition) are available through amazon.de and ArtBox Publish.
My Artsy profile is live. You can find it here.
March-August - a lot of new works have been added to the website.
Sneak-peek into what’s next:
- A newsletter sign up ‘sheet’ will be coming soon and I’m so over the moon with excitement! It’s been asked for so long and I know it was taking me forever but I’m finally taking the leap!
- My Garden (acrylic on stone paper) has been curated into the online exhibition “Loss”, at Woman Made Gallery, Chicago. More on this soon but check out the exhibition in the meanwhile.
