For Nan Goldin

At the age of fifteen Goldin held her first solo show, based on her photographic journeys among the city's gay and transsexual communities, to which she had been introduced by her friend David Armstrong. Goldin photographed New York's post-punk music culture of the late 1970's, along with the post stonewall gay subculture. By the 1990's most of her subjects were lost to drug overdose or AIDS, and she is recognized for the impact her photographs acheived in the capturing of a historical genre.

3rd Edition of my Reader/Zine

I always appreciated the readers my professors put together, a compilation of the "best of" their subjects of expertise. I also love the DIY quality of zines, the "do-able" being most important for me.
My version is a selection of favorite poems, stories, recipes, pictures and art from my library.

my banana tapestry:)

I was inspired by the "mola", which the indigenous Kuna women of Panama make to wear. Using bright solid-colored fabrics to create images that are both contemporary and traditional, geometric and organic.
