Collage Collaboration with Jenny Krasner

I met sculptor Jenny Krasner at Escape to Create, an artist's residency in Seaside, Florida. I liked her blow torch and gorgeous bi-ceps. She also writes, I paint and do collage/assemblage and we discovered we work with a lot of the same kinds of themes in our work (dad, dollars, and dolls come up a lot).

I didn't want to write a novel. I love novels, and live in them, but I have rarely felt that they reflect the real shape of actual experience. There's never a plot in my life! (Novel Exceptions: Kafka, Faulkner, Woolf.) I wanted to write something in the messy, friendly shape of reality. Girl reality.
