Myself and a small group of collaborators were accepted to be resident artists at The Santa Fe Art Institute in 2017 for up to three months. The residency is unique in that it offers a new theme year, with 2016-2017 focusing on 'Water Rights'. We will respond to this through site-specific performance, writing, visual artwork, and workshops and collaborations with the community.
