ARTIST STATEMENT:
I create bodies of work that explore subjects such as gender, artifice, and spectacle. Utilizing processes ranging from directorial to curatorial to anthropological, I showcase exuberantly irrepressible personalities who revel in challenging clichés associated with constructs such "masculinity" and "femininity". A sampling of subjects include Girls Girls Girls (the world's first and only all-female Mötley Crüe tribute band), Tazzie Colomb (the world's longest competing female bodybuilder), and LACTIC Incorporated (an avant-garde clothing brand that takes the detritus of corporate life and reinterprets it into one-of-a-kind structural garments that challenge the polarization of gender).
With this current and ongoing project "Life is Drag", I am documenting the most innovative and singular performers of the currently exploding international alt-drag and neo-burlesque scenes. I am 3 years into this project, and so far have created 250+ portraits. These are created in my studio as well as during residencies - in New York City (The Cell Theater, Bushwig), Pittsburgh (The Kelly Strayhorn Theater, Blue Moon Bar, Bloomfield Garden Club), and New England (3S Artspace).
This project began in early 2019 in my studio in Brooklyn, when I collaborated with a local visual artist by the name of Untitled Queen - a deeply beloved, highly respected, and uniquely visionary performer and conduit within the NYC drag scene who uses drag as a part and extension of her artistic process. I then worked with selected performers from Ohio and Kentucky in conjunction with a mid-career retrospective in my hometown of Cincinnati in the spring of 2019, and in January and February of 2020, I worked with 20+ New England-based drag artists as part of a residency and exhibition at 3S Artspace in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
From the autumn of 2020 until the summer of 2021, I was an artist in residence at The Cell Theatre in the Chelsea neighborhood of NYC, where I expanded the project in the midst of the pandemic to also include neo-burlesque performers and performance artists whose work deals specifically with gender performativity. Most recently was a residency in my hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio - which included creating video portraits of performers from the drag haus ODD Presents, members of the neo-burlesque troop Smoke & Queers, and other alt-drag and burlesque artists from the tri-state area. This residency also included an exhibition featuring this ever-growing archive, as well as multiple live performance events.
My long-term goal is to continue to do a series of such residencies nationally and internationally, which will allow me to create a comprehensive archive of video portraits of drag, burlesque and performance artists from a wide range of locations, backgrounds, cultures, and ages. Each portrait includes video of the artist performing (lip-synching, singing, telling stories, reciting monologues, dancing, etc.) in addition to interview documentation, and will live online as well as in galleries and unexpected places in between. "Life is Drag" has so far been exhibited at such venues as the the Carnegie Museum of Art and Bunker Projects (PA), Satellite Art Club, Bushwig and The Cell (NYC), 3S Artspace (NH), and the Weston Art Gallery (OH).
I believe this project is innovative and important in that it is treating and respecting "drag" (defined as broadly and inclusively as possible) as a proper art form – recognizing it as an extremely vital and valid style of performance art, and every bit as deserving of the deference reserved for more traditional classical art forms like painting and sculpture. Drag is painting and sculpture and performance all at once - and quite often also activism, education, protest, therapy, resistance, catharsis, comedy, tragedy, enlightenment, inspiration - or some combination of the above - to those who practice it, and also to those who experience it as an observer. This project is about celebrating this experimental and expansive form of art and its wide range of practitioners and manifestations. It is about creating a record - an archive - of these brilliant but ephemeral performances, from dive bars to art galleries, city streets to grand theater stages. It is about trying to properly document and share these wildly diverse acts and profound stories that will surely open minds and capture hearts.

Former Moxie's logo as Moxie's Classic Grill
Moxie's began as a small deli and diner in Calgary, Alberta, Canada in 1986, before transforming itself into an upscale premium casual dining restaurant and lounge in 2004. Following recent economic and development booms, Moxie's has begun opening new locations rapidly across Canada with a focus on globally inspired comfort food. Their niche is providing clients with an upscale experience compared to their competition, with their bathrooms even being luxurious. The menu focuses on house-made ingredients with a global inspiration. Their direct competition would be other premium casual chains such as Earls (restaurant chain) and Cactus Club Cafe. Northland Properties Group owns Moxie's Grill and Bar, as well as Chop Steakhouse & Bar, Shark Club Bar & Grill, Rockford Wok, Bar One Urban Lounge and Denny's Restaurants.
Moxie’s restaurants feature dining rooms and lounges that are open seven days a week. The exciting lounge atmosphere and the seated restaurant area are perfect for any occasion - from weekend brunch with the extended family, a romantic meal with someone special, pints and appetizers after the game, or a bottle of wine with a tight-knit group of friends. Moxie's has daily drink specials, and patios across the country open throughout the summer.
In December 2006 Moxie's expanded its brand to include CHOP Steakhouse & Bar and opened the first location in Edmonton, Alberta. CHOP has since expanded and has locations in Edmonton, Kelowna, Richmond, Winnipeg, and Calgary.

Media statement:
More than 400 residents from across NSW gathered outside AGL Energy's head office in North Sydney this morning to demand an end to AGL's controversial coal seam gas projects in Gloucester and Camden.
The residents, many who had travelled together by bus from Gloucester, were joined by concerned Sydneysiders and members of GetUp. Today marks the 100th consecutive week of community protests at AGL's head office demanding an end to CSG in NSW.
GetUp’s Better Power Campaign Director Lily Dempster, who is leading the organisation’s call for consumers to turn their backs on energy retailers still investing in dirty energy, said it was disappointing that CEO Andrew Vesey had refused an invitation from Groundswell Gloucester to address the gathering today.
“People from all walks of life have gathered outside of AGL today and over the past 100 weeks to show the community finds the threats of coal seam gas to our agricultural land, our precious water resources and our communities simply unacceptable,” she said.
“It’s risky business for communities such as Gloucester and Camden, and it’s increasingly risky business for investors too.
“The company is currently reviewing its coal seam gas investments and has a prime opportunity to get out of harmful coal seam gas projects for good.
“We know one of the most effective ways of placing pressure is through consumer action. If you are an AGL customer you're in a powerful position to help pressure this company to get out of CSG and start supporting cleaner, safer renewable energy instead," she said.
Professor Rufus Clarke is a former AGL customer who has switched power provider through the Better Power campaign.
“In April this year my wife and I became aware of the influence that companies like AGL have on public policy, for example in Prime Minister Abbott’s reneging on his pre-election promise not to cut the Renewable Energy Target, and his persistent attacks on the renewable energy industry.
“Ecological responsibility cuts no ice with these companies; the only thing they understand is losing market share. So we switched to Powershop for our electricity supply. We are paying no more per kilowatt hour than we were with AGL.
“I urge others to do as we have done, to switch their energy supplies away from those who pollute the atmosphere and the aquifers – it’s the only message that the companies that pollute, and their shareholders, will understand,” Prof Clarke said.
To date the Better Power campaign has switched 12,000 customers from AGL and other big polluting companies including EnergyAustralia and Origin Energy.

Monitoring your bank statement is the best way of knowing if someone is attempting to use your money.
This morning, checking my latest bank statement, I opened the file to remove a page but pulled open the bottom ring and not one of the centre rings. That ring closed on my finger, where you see the piece of wood in this re-enactment.
Were I a more dedicated photographer, I would have got my 'phone, lying on the table beside me, and snapped the moment. However, my only thought was to open the file and extract my finger – it was very painful 😟

Operation AVRO is a forcewide initiative that delivers a surge of extra resources and specialist officers to a different district within Greater Manchester each month.
This month saw the operation return to Wigan.
The operation targets crimes that members of the public in that district have told us give them the most concern.
Members of the press and key partners, including local representatives, are invited to attend Operation AVRO deployments to see results first-hand and conduct important multi-agency work, such as welfare visits.
More details on AVRO can be found by visiting gmp.police.uk and following us on social media.
You should call 101, the national non-emergency number, to report crime and other concerns that do not require an emergency response.
Always call 999 in an emergency, such as when a crime is in progress, violence is being used or threatened or where there is danger to life.
You can also call anonymously with information about crime to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Crimestoppers is an independent charity who will not want your name, just your information. Your call will not be traced or recorded and you do not have to go to court or give a statement.

When picking objects from my journal I decided to use the umbrella, hairdryer, and a bottle of shampoo. The idea of this hyper functional tool is that the user can go outside when it’s raining get his/her hair wet, wash his/her hair with the shampoo,and lastly go under the umbrella ,and blow dry his/her hair. To create the shampoo bottle ,and the hairdryer I cut circles using the jigsaw ,and the hole saw ,and then laminated them together.(On the hair dryer, I carved into the “spout” of it to show how the grill lays in it.) To create the umbrella I bought a dowel for the umbrella rod ,due to insufficient amount of wood left, and cut ⅛ of an inch on four 36” long pieces to make the frame of the umbrella.I sanded them down even more knowing that that thinner they were the more flexibility they’d be for bending. On Thursday/Friday ,to get the pieces to bend, I placed all four 36” pieces in a bathtub with warm water(first used my practice one-which turned out close to successful didn’t ben as much as I wanted) ,and let them soak for about an hour. Then I bent them into a horseshoe shape ,using rubber bands to get them to stay there. To keep them from floating to the top, I set little weights on top of the rubber bands holding them down. However, when taking off the rubber bands the next day they went back to being straight ,and one of them cracked in half.
Instead of using the bending technique, on Saturday I cut the pieces of wood in half with the chop saw ,and created 4, 90 degree angles with them, overlapping them on top of the dowel by lamentation ,and used hot glue on the outside of the lamentation, since I couldn’t get them to stay on the dowel with a clamp. After it dried I peeled off the hot glue to leave just the wood glue. Before adding the plastic top, I painted the shampoo bottle/ hairdryer to have them look like the real objects themselves ,and then laminated them to the dowel. For the shampoo bottle I created a shelf to lay the bottle on it ,and put a rod to connect the shelf to the shampoo bottle ;that way the shampoo bottle can be removed, put back, and spun around. Lastly, when adding the plastic to the top of the umbrella I experimented with cellophane, clear plastic lamination, and a clear shower curtain. I found the shower curtain to be the most sturdy. Overall, I thought the project turned out a lot better than I thought considering I was a little nervous to use the saws and work with unfamiliar tools. I liked making this project the most compared to the others and learned a lot about how to work with the wood with all the trial and errors I went through. I’d still like to try to get the wood to bend for future woodworking ,because I think that the umbrella would have looked more clean cut and even. However with lack of time ,and limited resources for cutting more thin strips I think the outcome of the product still looks good.
