Peace Camps, my new, 130-page novel was illustrated by artist Jeffry Mitchell and printed as a signed and numbered, limited edition of 250 by Container Corps, Portland, Oregon. Available below (scroll down):

The September issue of "frieze" is out. In it, Jennifer Kabat reflects on how my work transmits messages of protest through the art of knitting. 

@congratulationsandcelebrations (Instagram) is a mail art project that asks participants to consider what it means to engage in an act of courage, and then emboldens that act by loaning out a power object LABRYS SWEATER to wear for its performance. Over 100 people have checked out the garment and submitted photographs of themselves acting courageously amidst a climate of marked social and political unrest. Please consider participating yourself!

I have a new archival pigment print available through Exhibition A: Land of the Feminye. It is printed in an edition of 50 and available October 1.

Track the process of recreating historic W.I.T.C.H. garments via the Portland Garment Factory's adept assistance. When these garments are de-installed this fall from my project W.I.T.C.H. 1985 at the Portland Art Museum, they will be donated to the contemporary activist group WITCHPDX.
