Ephemera of a Handmade Action Archive is a collection of handmade objects from performance related events. The Action Archive is divided into 3 action categories: Participation, Delivery and Instructions. The Archive as a whole reveals my interest in handwritten text, mapping, instructions, titles, organization and edition books and materials. These relics use a combination of techniques and materials that briefly but poetically describe my aesthetic and process.

My time based performances and projects are summarized with these printed and constructed materials. These relics are often the only evidence of the event or project. The Ephemera of a Handmade Action Archive begins the stories. The stories, multifaceted and socially engaged are what I am invested in coordinating.
