This year's festival had a special section on the "Politics of Division," which was exciting because the Manifest Destiny series definitely fits with that area.

Moonifest Micro-Grant

I was excited to find out I am the recipient of a Moonifest Micro-Grant for my upcoming project, Manifest Destiny III!  This will help cover some of those extraneous costs that are difficult to calculate at the project's outset (yay!).

'Ladders in the Desert' closes Fri, Apr 6

If you haven't been able to catch my solo exhibition, "Ladders in the Desert," currently on view at the CSU-Pueblo Art Gallery, you still have until Friday, April 6, 2012.  For those who can't make the trip, here are a couple installation shots to give you a feel for it.  You can also view the 2 videos in the exhibition here and here.  All photos are by Kevin Malella.  

Manifest Destiny III - Campaign Update

Remarkable!  In just 3 days we raised over $1000 for
Manifest Destiny III!

I wanted  to point out that for every $150 raised, above and beyond our goal, we can add another cheerleader to the performance.  So if you didn't get a chance to contribute, please feel free to do so - it will go towards expanding this project!  The campaign will be open for 13 more days.
