First Assignment
For my current project, First Assignment, I have followed US servicewomen in training (The National Training Center, Fort Irwin, California), deployment (I embedded as media with Forces in Jalalabad, Afghanistan in 2008), and after their return home to Fort Hood, Texas (over Labor Day weekend 2009). I have examined their experiences, specifically that of the young female officer, and my role as media through a number of venues, including an artist’s “field guide” published by Les Figues Press (Los Angeles, 2009), and a suite of video-performances, First Assignment. Please visit the project’s website at www.first-assignment.com for more information.
