In 2023, The Bristol Art Museum was curating a series of shows for the nearby Rogers Free Library, a great community exhibition and learning space in Bristol. I participated in three of them; each issued a prompt in advance artists were asked to respond to. My thanks to the Andy Tyska, the Bristol Art Museum staff, the library staff, and volunteers for being so kind and fun to work with!
