CV (under construction)
Some experiences and info might belong here--especially the stuff about being an artist? I'm still working on that. So, some things might be out of place. But here are a few roles, responsibilities, and things I’ve done.
EDUCATION (the formal kind)
2018 -19 Postgraduate Fellow. Duke University. Durham, NC.
2015 Master of Fine Arts. Rhode Island School of Design. Providence, RI.
[a concentrated period of unmaking, making, talking about making,
reading about making, and a lot of writing about making. I even
wrote a textbook, sort of.]
(briefly) Harvard. [Took some business courses. Motivated me to get
better at art instead.]
1999 Bachelor of Arts. Brown University, Providence, RI.
[Studied history and other things too. Was constantly asked, what
are your doing here. I still managed to graduate. I think my degree is
in my sister's garage in a box. That would be the 2nd or 3rd garage
been stored in.]

Note: I left out a few years. I didn’t make much work after my grandmother passed away in my final semester of grad school. Everyone says “life keeps going” while you study—but mine sort of paused. I had to put art down to pick myself up. That story doesn’t show up in a line item, but it’s part of the work.

I used to think this page had to prove something.
Now I think it might just tell you where I’ve been—and maybe show you how I got there.
