Ok now we’re well into Hot Girl Summer but here I am finally getting around to posting about my residency @bemiscenter from the beginning of the year. Three months of getting paid to be an artist in the Rare and Well-Done city of Omaha, Nebraska. It was bonkers cool. A gift in the form of beautiful people, wide open space, myriad facilities, AND a free YMCA gym membership! Basically I just cried the whole time (🤡 menty-b), but also got to make things in wood (thanks Big Patrick and MCC), ceramics (thanks Matt), and bronze (thanks Hot Shops)!

One exciting thing is that I started a sprawling and still-evolving project in conversation with the Heartland Gay Rodeo Association Archive (thanks Mark and Peter and all the Gay Rodeo badasses)! In-progress: collecting oral histories, two-stepping, object-making! Future work: a large-scale installation and performance! Omaha! I’ll be back soon!

Being an artist is really great sometimes especially when it’s an invitation to learn to two-step and make weird things and meet new friends and see the Sandhill Crane migration and eat with raccoons and sing karaoke and think about big and small stuff and practice breathing and lift heavy things and shed a few tears.

Still processing my three amazing months of artist residency at @bemiscenter . It’s hard to believe it’s already been a week since I left. During the time there, I focused on deep researching and started new projects that I’m excited to develop further. Huge thanks to the staff and my brilliant fellow residents.
