Selections from my series, Rules of Engagement are included in Word 6: An Architecture of Multi-Modal Poetry and Text. Curated by S’Marie Clay, the exhibition focuses on the idea of a  home inhabited by poetry/text that hangs, opens, closes, locks, rusts, plays loud enough to wake the neighbors, bakes rings, burns, drips, melts, fits, and bursts from the seams.

The exhibition will be up from Nov 1, 2012  till January 11, 2013. There is a reception for the artists, along with poetry readings on Monday November 19, from 5-7 pm.
