OF COAL MINES AND CANARIES

I was delighted to read virtually alongside Saretta Morgan for the trusty, revered Segue Series last December out of a converted garage with less than ideal internet access. I presented evolving work from SMOKEPENNY LYRICHORD HEAVENBRED, focused on coal mine canaries.

Thanks to James Sherry, the Segue Foundation, and Artists Space for their work on the event. A video of the event is here.

Thanks to my co-conspirators on the AR Pennies from Nether app, Judd Morrissey and Abraham Avnisan,
