It feels strangely appropriate to think about and work on a project related to Thomas Merton’s hermitage while I’m here at the Marble House Project residency. Plenty of solitude and silence. #marblehouseproject #hermitage #thomasmerton

What a lovely studio to work in at the Marble House Project in Vermont. I can’t wait to dig into work (or dig into no work). #marblehouseproject #familyresidency @jenharnetty

Hanging out here in Vermont for the next two weeks! #marblehouseproject #familyresidency @jenharnetty

Hey I made the cover! Here is a fantastic long read on “Forest Listening Rooms” — so happy that @joeloliphint decided to tag along with me into the forest. Link in bio! #columbusalive #pacificstandardmagazine #friendsofperrystateforest #sociallyengagedart #waynenationalforest #perrystateforest

This past weekend was intense: went to @bardcollege for the Creative Capital Retreat, and once again saw the most inspiring projects from across all disciplines. I’m so proud to be among and to learn from these people, and to share my own work, too. Thank you @creative_capital ! And thanks to @passthepaintbrush for the great photo. #ccretreat

Nice snake!

Here is a great review from The Wire for “Shawnee, Ohio”: “[There is] a strong sense of engagement... in the ability to absorb oneself so deeply in the history of a place that the most trivial happenings, rather than the most dramatic, turn out to be the telling ones.” #thewiremagazine #ShawneeOhio

I have no idea why OX, a German fanzine for punk rock, hardcore, and rock ‘n’ roll would review Shawnee, Ohio, but I’m glad they did—they really understood the album, and gave it 9/10 stars (or 1/10, depending on interpretation): “Enormously fascinating and authentic in its artistic and musical engagement with the past.” #oxfanzine #shawneeohio

Just received a physical copy of the A Blade of Grass Magazine. It’s beautiful to look at and a pleasure to read, and includes Robert Sember’s excellent article on the “Forest Listening Rooms” project.
