I’m incredibly humbled and grateful to receive an Artists Grant from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts. FCA was founded by John Cage, Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg, so it’s a really special honor to be part of this legacy.

I arrived in Berlin a week ago to start my 5-month residency at the American Academy in Berlin. I’ll be giving a presentation here on the 26th to discuss my work and give a short performance with ruby, my newest instrument.
