Happy to take part in Stuart Pilkington's newest project - THE SWAP. This is the 3rd online photographic project of Stuart's I have participated in. Kristine Heykants and I decided to work together to create a new portrait of each other.

Sean is a talented man. He has a new book coming out this year! I was lucky enough to make this portrait of Sean last year. Sean is part of my on-going series, Lost in the Midwest. My work was recently shown in the 2014 National Prize Juried Show presented by the Cambridge Art Association at The University Place Gallery in Cambridge. James Welu, Director Emeritus at the Worcester Art Museum. I think we have an author photo out of this deal, too. Sean expressed to me that it was really hard to get a good picture of himself....I have to disagree.

She Doesn't Blink - Response to Yoko Ono's EYE BLINK

She Doesn't Blink is in response to viewing Yoko Ono's infamous EYE BLINK - a flux film she made in 1966. I saw this work in Denmark, north of Copenhagen last summer in 2013. I was visiting my friend Lene Wyke and we saw posters and billboards everywhere promoting Yoko Ono's major retrospective at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. Beautiful place on the coast with the sea in plain view. The exhibition was truly a gift and I was so incredibly lucky to be there at that time. All chance. The film says so much about who Yoko Ono is as a woman - She Doesn't Blink. Thank you YOKO for your inspiration!

This work is part of a video dialogue with LeAnn Erickson - called HOMEGROWNSTORIES.
