About
My current major writing project is re-writing my 2010 PhD dissertation as two novels. One (just completed and being sent out for review) is a love story about death and concrete. The other is a period drama of post-World War II New York and the co-mingling agendas of Jane Jacobs, Walker Evans, Henry Luce and the American artistic avant-garde. I am also preparing an academic article for a forthcoming publication associated with an artists' project on libraries, and continuing to develop my poetic/photographic hybrids.
My writing is anti-disciplinary; I don't just want to cross disciplines, I want to collapse them, eviscerate them, start anew. But of course I am like someone in a small dinghy hurling threats at stately and oblivious freighters passing by - freighters called, "art history," "cultural studies," "urban planning," "material culture," "STS," "classical studies."
I am also a consultant in social-purposes (anti-poverty, anti-violence and arts and culture) real estate development.
