Evil Bill performance during an in-house artist talk for my cohort at the November 2024 Wedding Cake House artist residency. I had to sit with a face mask of lotion for an hour to remove the $1 lipstick I covered my face with.

One of my day jobs is assisting WI artist Jennie Bastian in engineering/constructing, painting, & installing her work. In Life Shroud I painted & heat sculpted PVC pipe to create the bustle-inspired structure. In Spoon Rest, I engineered & installed an illuminated display into found-furniture.

Asked spur of the moment to operate the tail of artist Hattie Grimm’s huge bird puppet, which took 4 people total to activate at the Lynden Sculpture Garden’s annual Winter Carnival. Hattie’s father said I had good form and dads’ positive appraisal is my preferred currency.

Stop animation clip from my time at the Wedding Cake Residency in Providence, RI. I’m exploring different materials for a long term costume build for a performance on queer camouflage versus “visibility.”
