Summer studio calendar:
June - I contributed a zine to the 2022 queer games bundle, organized by Swampbabes. What? You haven’t perused the gayest independent game package on the internet yet? GO DO SO NOW.
July - catch DEMAND/PRAYER (above) on display at Porchlight Literary Center during salon hours (Saturdays in July, 11am-3pm).
July 6 - the artist’s 30th birthday.
Last year for my birthday, I got a kitten. This year, I will be accepting: more kittens, donations to LGBTQ Iowa Archives & Library.
July 6-18: Excited to participate in Women Writing with Lauren Winner. I applied with a writing sample titled “Typewritersexual” (does Lauren Winner know what she’s getting herself into?) This residency will be an opportunity to revise my over-researched manuscript about thread, time, and space.
August 10 - Catch a virtual, 2-hour workshop with me at Minnesota Center for Book Arts. Learn how to put cloth through a typewriter!!! Why sign up? Because more book arts workshops should feature clips from Naked Lunch.
