“As for the announcement for the talk, I am attaching an image that you can use. I have some loose ideas for what I would like to do that have to do with exploring the idea of rest, unrest, and arrest in relationship to images I am fond of and how that relates to ideas in my work. I would like to call the talk an unrested image. If you are making an announcement or something please just let me see it before it goes out. For the talk I will just need my laptop and a projector.” —Shannon Ebner
