SEVEN DAYS, Vermont's leading independent art & culture newspaper is, in my and many other's opinion, "the shit". The articles are great, the staff is amazing, and if you want to know what's up and happening in your area, head their way. So, imagine my utter delight when Pamela Polston, the paper's co-owner/founder (the fact that the paper is founded by two women makes 7D even more inspiring) emailed me last month to say she wanted to send a writer and photographer over to Borough to do a gallery profile. My face could have lit a hundred dark caves. My work has been reviewed in the paper twice before; once in a group show at the Maltex Building, and again as part of Entropic Restructed, Borough's spring 2010 show. A full interview, however, conducted at a time when we haven't even been promoting an upcoming show, is way more flattering.

The whole process was so fun, like I said, the 7D crew is great. Lauren Ober was fantastic, witty and both interested and interesting, and it was nothing but laughs and hilarious outbursts to work with photographer Matt Thorsen again (I worked with Matt and his equally hilarious and amazing wife, Diane, during a show at Red Square this past February). Honestly, just thinking about the whole process makes me laugh out loud, usually at inappropriate moments, and it really solidified my love for this small city and the community it contains. Everyone somehow knows each other through some fabulous event, everyone has such great energy, everyone is so involved and excited by what they're doing...it's beautiful. We (my studio mates and myself) loved sharing our story and having the opportunity to spread the word about Borough to 7D's 77,000+ weekly readers. Wrapping the night up with Steve, Borough's resident writer, with an always-delicious local dinner, pouring creative ideas out over muddled strawberry martinis and excitedly gushing about how far Borough has come and how much further we want it to go, made the whole day perfect in my memory.
