I took several hundred self-portraits with the Polaroid One-Step SX-70 camera in 1978. The artists whose work at the time captivated me were Lucas Samaras, Egon Schiele, and Rudolf Schwarzkogler. To document my life as a 21-year-old queer art punk, I used the Polaroid, multiple journals and performance. I posed, like any good punk, to put you off and to attract you just the same; its all the same.

Launch of Pola-Reds
I am about to travel to San Francisco for the SF Punk Homecoming, a two-day event featuring punk bands from back in the day, performance and spoken word, and an art show.
Pola-Reds will be for sale, while on view in the art show are digital prints of a triptych of images from the book and a triptych featuring friends Don Vinil, singer for the Offs, Debora Iyall, singer for Romeo Void, and boyfriend Martin.
Pola-Reds: Confections from the Edge is currently being sold at Elliott Bay Book Company and Rare Medium Gallery in Seattle, WA and Nationale in Portland, OR. Look for more locations as the days roll on. I am planning my Seattle book launch for Oct. 29.
