My title is not Video Artist, Performance Artist, Musician, or Writer. I have tried to characterize myself in that way before (as a painter) and it was a mistake. Moment to moment, project to project, I am some combination of names or none of them at all. I am a collection of fragments which are constantly rearranged and altered. I welcome this change, striving to embody the kind of fluidity I contemplate within my work.82 pagesen-USThe author has granted Alfred University a limited, non-exclusive right to make this publication available to the public.
