LATESUMMER UPDATE, 2008

Whew.

I am now the proud owner of an MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts. You may call me a Mistress in Fine Arts.

2008 has been a hoot, but a busy one. "House Bound" went off nicely at Performance Works NW, "Play Me" at Portland Center Stage was great fun, and "Seeding Easter Island" at Fort Worden turned out to be amusing, touching, and intense... at least it was for me. (Photos by Corey Fox.) Next up is Burning Man, the Tarotist Training Camp at 9:30 and Wheel near Center Camp, followed by the most complicated event I've done in a long time: our wedding.

I'll continue working on the Easter Island Project through 2009; watch this space if you'd like to join in. If you'd like to host one of the performance/events, please email me at magdalen23 at gmail dot com.

And what else is up? This fall, I will likely have an essay in Oregon Humanities journal, and over the winter I'm working with a professional development panel. In March, Clare Carpenter and I will teach an intensive workshop on book arts and interdisciplinary practice at Oregon College of Art and Craft. My spot on the selection committee for the RACC's Visual Chronicle of Portland has been renewed, so if you create Portland-inspired works on paper, give me a shout.

Come August, I'm off to Easter Island. May the road rise to meet us all, 'til then.

xoxo
