2 for 1 (2006-7)
What started as a simple desire to loose 50 pounds in time for my 25th High School reunion developed into a year-long investigation into the meaning of weight, the nature of loss and the inevitiability of emergence.
One year prior to the reunion, I began sending postcards to people from my graduating class and a small network of artists and friends. The postcards showed images from snapshots of me taken over the years. On the back, I wrote short stories from my life that aimed to complicate the careful conversations I expected to have over drinks at the reunion.

During the course of the year, I maintained a blog discussing my efforts. I also developed SPIN, an autobiographical lecture and powerpoint presentation that I delivered while teaching a spin class.

In November, 2007, I attended the reunion wearing a necklace I crafted using the senior portraits from the 1982 yearbook.
