Archaeologist-Artist
An anthropologist by training, I recently started creating comics. The stories I write touch on topics that are, if you will, archaeological: I write about the stuff that memories are made of -- past dreams, lost hopes, forgotten desires. These are deeply political issues to me, because how we live our lives now will matter in the future, just as the past continues to have a hold over the present. My creative endeavors are part-time, accompanied by a day job in a museum in New York City.
