I am very grateful to have recently received a grant from NYSCA in support of my interactive projection project about HIV: "The Animation of Mortality". While I am still fundraising to pay for equipment, construction and a studio rental, this grant will help subsidize the significant costs of technical and administrative support. I'd like to offer thanks to all my advisors and supporters, including (but not limited to):

• The Fiscal Sponsorship Team at the New York Foundation for the Arts
• The Brooklyn Arts Council
• Melody Loveless and the staff at Harvestworks
• Jen Zelnick MSW, ScD and Max O'Donnell M.D
• Whitney Joiner, Founder of the Recollectors Project and Magazine Articles Editor at The Washington Post
• Every member of the Recollectors
• Emily Colucci, art curator, critic and publisher of Filthy Dreams
• Michael Hager, Hager Health and Impac+ NYC
• Bruce Ward, Writer and Former National Director of the AIDS Prevention Hotline
• Meredith Hawkins M.D
• Daniel Littlewood, Vox Media
• My Family

and especially to everyone who has contributed their family stories to my project. ​
