2.Shoot a portrait of yourself

Love a huge rhododendron, and also any plant that makes food.

 
11. What were you doing before TPR & What brought you here?

Rosie Lee Tompkins, Felix Gonzales-Torres, and Anni Albers, all artists whose work I admire, and who seem like they'd make good dinner guests.
