Collaboration with artist Matt Bollinger

I'm thrilled to see my writing showcased in this review of Matt Bollinger's show, The Road of Ashes at Zürcher Studio.
Myself, Farrah Field, Paige Taggart and Alina Gregorian all wrote pieces specific for the show and then they were edited by Matt Bollinger and Dan Magers. Read the write-up here & then go see the show if you're in NYC (or going to be in NYC).
