• Site Songs a collaboration with poet Ted Pearson, is an artists’ book consisting of 23 mixed media pieces combiined with 23 poems overlayed on transparent vellum.. Utilizing prime numbers as an organizing framework, the book measures 11 x 17. It is as yet unpublished.

• Once upon a time, my brothers and I had a popular new wave band in San Francisco. For some reason, we never managed to put out an album. Liberation Hall Music has now corrected that, with this release of NO SISTERS Live at the Mabuhay 1980, part of their Sounds from the San Francisco Underground series.. It’s a warts-and-all document of a particular time and place, where tho music was played very fast and loud — i.e. it’s fun! I’m glad this record is now in the world.

  2019

• Thrilled to have been included in an exhibit of artist’s books, In and Out of ConTEXT, curated by Lena Bartula, during February, 2019 at the wonderful Galeria La Huipilista, in Colonia Guadalupe, San Miguel de Allende. Other featured artists included Leigh Hyams (my late mother-in-law), Project B, and Glen Rogers.

• As the closing event of In and Out of ConTEXT, we held a Random Moby-Dick Read-In, utilizing my piece, The Moby-Dick Tree. Over a dozen people chose a page at random from the Tree, and read it aloud to the audience. It was a great success!

• I contributed a sculptural piece, “Gush,” to a group exhibit called Plastic Madness at Casa Europa in San Miguel de Allende during March 2019. The theme, curated by Glen Rogers, had to do with artists’ responses to the plastic waste epidemic that is wreaking environmental havoc.

• Was delighted to be part of Danny Cameron’s annual ArteTaco bash in November 2018. I had a room to myself, and showed all new work made in 2018, including some large sculptures.
