It was a day of slow progress. The truth is, drawing, and thinking, and responding takes time. But all of this has been incredible, and I’m so excited to continue to explore and experiment with the works to come back in New York.
Another participating artist, Julie Sandor, was incredibly kind to allow me to borrow and document an old newspaper she had from November 13, 1967. It is a Greek language publication, and it’s a beautiful thing. I’m not sure what I will do with it yet, but it’s an incredible object, and I’m excited to explore the potential there.

I took a long walk through the old city today, as a breather from the studio time. It was a blistering hot day, but it felt incredible to walk and explore, see the city, photograph, and meet people.
One of the walls we passed had some particularly relevant graffiti to the particular combination of our topics in the residency, as well (politics, and misogyny.) Maya and I both laughed when we saw this:
More to come!
