MAKING ON A TILTING PLANET

Since February 002025 we have been gathering monthly with friends/colleagues Lisa Hirmer (Canada) and Chris Cozier (Trinidad) under the title, Making on a Tilting Planet, supported by the Musagetes Foundation (Canada).  We've been in conversation with Chris and Lisa since 002016 when we shared time together at the Rising Waters II Rauschenberg Residency on Captiva Island, FL. Our monthly gatherings online explore what it means to create work and live within a time of massive planetary change and the planetary impact of art-related travel.
