Last week on Tuesday I was notified by telephone that I am one of the 2011 Massachusetts Cultural Council Fellowship recipients in sculpture/installation.
Here you can find a list of fellows and finalists and images of their work. I am very thankful and excited. Thank you.

A note on the images "romance 02.07.2011 (Ben Hersey)"
The man at the table is Ben Hersey. He is one of my very favorite artists. The images noted are from a
performance he did last Monday night. I am in the midst of trying to write him a letter about his food consumption during performances.

I am currently in an online show at Gallery Gray called
Precarious Worlds. The show was organized by
Tim Abel and includes images of his work, my work, and
Melissa Wagner-Lawler's work.
Exhibition Statement:
With just one hand held up high
I can blot you out, /Out of sight.
Peek-a-boo,
Peek-a-boo, little earth.
—from Hello Earth, by Kate Bush
The world is chaotic and slippery: the solid ground beneath our feet is not solid but moving; the body standing on this ground is problematic; and the fact or fiction of this moment can and does blur in recall and in the invention of a new story. As artists, we make the concession that our attempts at creating order are fallible, but keep going anyway. To paraphrase Proust: an unfailing world doesn’t yield incentive for fruitful investigations. This moment of unbalance is good; each of us uses this uncertainty as motivation to study and create worlds of our own. These worlds act as substitutions, stand-ins or places to find temporary order.
Our artworks also share an interest in saturation: a tendency towards decoration through pattern, layers of color, information and fragmentation, whether it be work that is printmaking or paper-based or performative in nature. Melissa Wagner-Lawler works with printmaking and gouache and at times includes embroidered text and cutouts. Angela Zammarelli uses fabric, cardboard, and herself to make sculptural objects and installations. In my work I use printmaking, papermaking, drawing, and sewing to make small size works to large-scale paper based installations.
Enjoy the show.
