About: Please tell us about your self. Some of our programs have benefits for art workers - please tell us if you are an artist and mention the most recent work/venue/space/residency where you have worked/developed your practice.: More than 20 years working professionally as a writer. My plays, translations and performance works have been shown around the country as well as in the Netherlands and most recently Germany. My poems have appeared regularly in national journals (including Ecotone, Rattle, Asheville Poetry Review, The New Guard). I've also collaborated with other artists on video work and dance pieces. In addition, I've done a fair amount of journalism, mainly profiles of artists at work in different fields from painting to music to dance to sculpture, for all kinds of publications.

I've been working with photography for the last 3 or 4 years. My second solo show was exhibited in New York Sept - Oct 2011. My photos have also been included in several group shows in New York and California. Most of my photography relates to the natural world, specifically the decay, breakdown and transformation of plant life.

I've had a lifelong interest in dance. I studied for a number of years in my late teens and early 20s. I've long been interested in Butoh.

My work... hmm. I'm a bit of jack-of-all-trades... so this is a bit of everything sans written works:

If you would like, post some of your images or poems here in the Nexus. They could be inspiration for a dance!
