My creative writing takes on a wide range of fiction and nonfictional formats, from conceptual word lists and socio-political surveys to professional letters and sketchbook notations. Here is a small sampling of selected artists statements, project documents, research bibliographies, curatorial notations, and creative ephemera in various states of completeness that align with the multiple facets of a visual artists life.
