Exciting news just in! I've been selected as the Spring 2025 Recorder Resident at the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology! I'll be spending 3 weeks at Cascade Head, Oregon in Feb/March working with artists and environmental scientists experimenting, performing and creating new work! – at Armidale, New South Wales
