Artist Statement



I am an involved collaborator with Neighborhood Public Radio as a conceptual artist working with sound and programing.
My first venture with them was at Southern Exposure in San Francisco producing a half hour show for “The Way We Work” in 2004. My program targeted the Filipinos in the South of Market and their history surrounding that area.
At Artist Television Access I produced and hosted my first show for “Indecency” where I interviewed Miss Ivy Drip Marin’s Drag Queen of the Year alumni she was wonderful. I never thought I would travel for art but off I went to Chicago for Version 5 “Invincible Desire” at the Buddy Gallery. I produced and hosted shows for a week contacting Chicagoans from all walks of life, mostly gay and lesbians in and around the N. Milwaukee/Bucktown area of Chicago.
I am currently working with Southern Exposure Gallery in San Francisco producing radio plays with Neighborhood Public Radio. I am the founder of Transistor Radio Theatre,a collaborative which uses local people from neighborhoods I revive old radio shows and adapts them to present day and we are in the process of writing original plays for live radio and participating in events in the bay area and beyond. My hope is to put people on the radio and teach them how to use their voice in a positive and creative way. I will be performing at the 2008 Whitney Museum Biennial in May doing my radio and producing a Too Late for Tears with a New York cast.

I am updating my other computer and I can see right now that writing for 10 minutes each day will be challenging, but I am going to do this for a little while and see where it goes. Maybe I will do sound stuff for 10 minutes that would work. We'll see how it goes.

Welcome to Eating Cultures AAWAA and APICC I got off early from work to help out AAWAA and APICC set up for the event and met some of the artist. Anticipation was high, as the crew put the finishing touches on the gallery and set up the POP UP Shop. Shari Arai deBoer and Cynthia Tom   Shizue Seigel and Susan Almazol set up Pop Up Shop The place was a buzz with excitement, as we started to hang the signs and clear off workers tables.  Cynthia is one of the hardest working women I know. With her guidance and support all of us had tasks to do.  The press preview was from 4-5pm and we finished setting up and cleaning just before the press arrived The Pop Up Shop had items made by the artists. I didn't bring or make anything for the shop , but some of the artist did and the shop looked great with jewelry, posters, postcard, comics, as well as mini paintings and textile work. Just outside the Pop Up Shop was the table a...
