Interdisciplinarity is hard! But you know what? Feminists have learned that it is crucial to work where the seams and borders get made.

  1. This comic fits me perfectly! So true!

    This really made me laugh. It’s a description of my entire life.
    I call myself an artist-writer; but I used to separate those terms and keep two completely different resumes.
    Presently I make stuff that is mostly termed art, but I’m at least as excited by science, history, and literature as I am by art.
    I show my work, as often as not, outside of the art world, in performance venues or on the internet.
    I make other stuff that is writing but that generally falls on the edges or outside of genres.
    I used make my living as a designer; even earlier I worked as a journalist and editor– none of these are fields in which I have any formal training.
    Now I make a living as a professor of digital media although (and because) there’s no real consensus on what that is.
    My early formal training was in traditional media like painting, photography, and printmaking, but I do not have a degree in any of these areas.
    I have one degree in computer art and another in history and literature.
    I work best in my home studio, but my formal studio is at the university where I teach.
    Technically I belong to the very tail end of the baby boom, but my cultural affinity is with Gen X.

    Nowhere, indeed.
