I am not sure how long I thought it would be to letterpress my new book "Quasi-Public, Semi-Private" would take, but it took the entire summer plus a good chunk of fall. Wow. I will begin binding it tomorrow. Hooray. The exhibition for the Jerome Foundation Book Arts Mentorship will open on November 7th and run through February 11th. Come check it out. I will be exhibiting the book as broadsides on the wall, but a color copy of the book will be on display in the newly converted gender inclusive bathroom on the first floor near the exhibition space. 

I was reflecting with students in my BA Capstone class at UMN about artistic process this week. So I thought I would share photos that were part of my process for artworks last year. 

So happy to have had the opportunity to talk to Risa Puleo about my art these past few years. Have a read of our interview on hyperallergic.com.

Thank you Minnesota Center for Book Arts (MCBA) and Open Book for adding an all-gender, accessible restroom to your main floor! 

If you haven't visited Open Book or MCBA, there are two great bookstores, a cafe, a gallery and lots of classes!

​I feel fortunate to be working there this year as a part of the Jerome Foundation Book Arts Mentorship Program. 

I'm thrilled to announce that I will have a solo show at Hair and Nails Gallery in South Minneapolis in the 2018/2019 season. 

Had a great week learning letterpress techniques from Bill Myer at Minnesota Center for Book Arts. Looking forward to making a book this summer!
