Ahoy! Finally 2021 is here!
I’m looking forward a more positive time. I am trying to stay connected to activism and making the world safer and less hateful. In the midst of this kooky pandemic and social upheaval I am also trying to concentrate on completing my multi-media memoir Phranc Talk “The Butch Closet”. In the performance part of the memoir the audience enters through the door of The Butch Closet and parts the sea of hanging flannel shirts ( made of paper?) revealing the stage where I tell stories, sing songs, and narrate photos, video, and home movies. The book part of The Butch Closet is a painted autobiography. I am creating objects, sewn and painted paper sculptures, starting with my baby quilt (5 ft x 3 ft, Kraft paper, goauche, thread, polyester batting), that illustrate my life. My goal is to creat 65 pieces (I’m 63 now and my goal is have this released at 65) that will be published as a catalog/book and a companion to the performance. There will also be an archival component of collected recordings and images. So if you see me pop up on social media, and I release new art and music, please know that all the while I am working on this bigger project. Thank you for the support you have always given me. I am especially indebted to the queer community, my chosen family, for all the love!
Oh! Please sign my mailing list!
