I like to play. I'll play in all kinds of ways. I used to play with dirt in flowerbeds, thick with nasturtiums. "Nasties" my grandma called them. She loved everything sinful and dirty, strutting it as a silken robe. Her name was Eunice. She taught me to love the edges that refuse to fit within the form.
When I was young I wanted to be a veterinarian but couldn't pronounce it. "Vegetarian" I would say. And then I was a vegetarian for a very long time.
I teach now, a bonafide adjunct professor at San José State University. For the Art department I teach applications of digital media + code. In the department of Humanities I teach a course about Queer art history. The commute is pleasant, I take the train.
