Plans for your residency?
Reading 2666 by Roberto Bolano. Baking some bread. Making some simple ink portraits of the weeds of Trondheim growing out of the heads of famous thinkers. I am also planning an animation project, which will probably not be finished until much later. I have a show at Babel Gallery on August 19th.
