It was the Honor of My Whole Lifetime
to be among the openers for the
@muggsfogarty Sex Camel 2.0 Book Release
at @provslam !
To be alongside so many of the bright, guiding lights that brought me to Providence was powerful in itself, but damn do those writers W R I T E ! I am still shook to the marrow. Muggs, Charlotte, Naffi, Justice, Chrysanthemum, Kleo, Ilyus ~ all names you should already be screaming, but I will bellow from the heart until you catch up.
I've only got a couple more performances this summer, both on the East Coast >>>>>>>>>
♤ MAY 16TH in Keene, NH for @thethinginthespring at @nova.arts.block with @jessriz.art & @nellfell13

See you S00n,
Stay Sweet!

Providence has been a beautiful & important place to be. Come July, it will be the longest I have been anywhere.
I suspect it will always be with me.
I suspect it will always be filled with miracle people.

The show at 14 Olneyville Square is officially deinstalled!
Thank you to everyone who came through to check it out! It made me happy to make both the new work and the 70+ fliers around this new practice!
Taurus season is on Deck and I am in the mode of calling some shots >>>>>>>>>
It feels right to name this my last installation as a Resident of Providence. It feels bittersweet, but right and good. I am so grateful for this little corner of the world. This felt like a proper and warm celebration of the time I've spent here.
I hit the road in September and look forward to some more quiet celebrations between here and there.
A l s o ~ Currently looking to rehome these larger (3ftx4ft) paintings should you like to share this moment, in that way.
Stay sweet!

I had no idea how many Fliers I had made in the last several years until I (belatedly) started properly documenting them ~
something like 70+ Promotional Images all Risograph Printed, Hand Drawn, Cut, Glued, Scanned, Layered Upon Layered, Torn Up, Reused, and Stuck around Providence, RI.
It's important to me that this extention of an event and the art itself both get to have a real life.
However imperfect they turn out sometimes ~ I always prefer to see something dance on a bulletin board than lay flat like another tidy piece of the internet to throw away.
This practice has been important to me,
and has brought me a significant amount of Play & Joy.
I've consistently learned through making these,
and in no small way have they welcomed life back into my life.
Grateful always to Binch Press & Queer.Archive.Work.
Grateful always to you, and your company.
Let me know if I can make something for you, sometime.
Stay sweet!
▪︎
a gentle reminder >>>>>>>>>
you can see "i won't wait to love you"
now through April 11th
at 14 Olneyville Square ( @dirtpalace ) ~
a collection of paintings, prints, and inspireful objects
after a series of poems all of the same title.
It feels powerful to celebrate
this special corner of the world
that has held me these last several years
& I hope you will share that with me!
S33 u S00n,
St4y sw33t!
