Pages from book 1 of a process and research series. a collection of assorted papers gathered and generated over the past 15+ years: articles, notes, book excerpts, images, film scenes, free associative writing, film negatives, performance programs, printing experiments, postcards, essays, and other flat, bindable ephemera.
I have boxes of these things that I circulate through every few seasons, trading in and out things that wax and wane in relevance to whatever is happening creatively.
Much of this is finding its way consciously and otherwise into the @_abc.project_ and other collaborations. Some of it was a byproduct of previous works or brilliant ideas from exceptional people, all of it slowly stepping toward something else.
~163 pages. 1 of 1. Created while in residence at the @joanmitchellcenter_nola@joanmitchellfdn

BIG TAX DAY SHOUTOUT TO ABC ACCOUNTANT CHRIS SHELDON! This man knows how to both crunch the numbers AND nail his lines ( look out for his cameo in Film B! ). Thanks Chris for your expert guidance in managing our books as well as your enthusiasm for our creative efforts!!!
Here's Chris between takes during the first week of shooting back in April 2022.
