Hi Mariam,

Below this list are a ton more pre-existing links than you need, but I thought I would just use this “Exhibits” page as a template for getting the new information to you for the September Gatewood Gallery show. Feel free not to look at anything below “Upcoming” 😄. And also feel free to ping me about anything else you need. I’ll be on the road but with intermittent access to internet until around June 30th. Then again from around July 7th on. It may take me several days to get back to you, or it may be within 24 hours. 😉 Probably best not to promise any new work of family audio/video, though I will be aiming for that. But the Fulbright/Cornwall work is ready to go! (apologies for the light text on the list — couldn’t get the website design gremlins to give it to me in black text)
