Rough Draft is a newsletter where I share new work; the rough drafts of projects I’m working on; insights and explorations into process and craft; conversations with other artists and colleagues; and special projects.

Past letters have looked like:

• Notes on having an work studio

• Notes on the work of Virginia Hanusik, New Orleans, and life and community during climate catastrophe

• A conversation with three storytellers about cruising and HIV in 2025

• A conversation with artist and friend, Beto Pérez about gossiping our approaches to non-fiction, and our relationship to HIV and art making

• A short craft essay about how I contributed to an art piece shown in Mexico City
