For a year, I tried to combine my studio with a gallery space and failed repeatedly, just like I cannot wear an apron to protect my clothes from the colors. Things overlap in my world. Torpedo Factory Art Center has let me stay vulnerable and become the zeitgeber while I transitioned. This is an empowering place. I feel naked in public and still beautiful at the same time. Owning a studio space separate from my home is big for me. However, I don't ever stop working. Shutting down is for the dead. Or for sleep.
