For more than a decade, I have been installing my extremely short stories on the walls of private homes and art galleries. By means of a process called photocopy transfer, I print these site-specific stories directly on the walls, as well as on wood panels, canvas, paper, and other materials. 
I’ve long wanted to occupy an entire Baltimore rowhouse with these microfictions (10-50 words), installing stories that tell the history of a fictional family who lived in that home—their lives, hopes, trials, happiness and sorrows.
Recently, I decided to take the matter into my own home, using that familiar and intimate space to create my MicroFiction RowHouse. I will share my home with this fictional family and its spirits, writing dozens of stories and placing them on a variety surfaces in every room. The stories will be of many shapes and sizes to match the space they are printed on, the room they occupy, and tale they tell.
In a bid to fund the MicroFiction RowHouse, I launched a GoFundMe campaign. The campaign is meant to fund the project space, my time, materials, a large series of public events, and honorariums to the many artists who will lend their creativity to the project.
The installation will begin in August 2017, and throughout that month and September, I’ll host literary readings, art and writing workshops, musical performances, and an opening reception, all of which will be free to the public.
Workshops will include Microfiction Writing, led by me, Photocopy Transfer, led by encaustic painter Christine Sajecki, How to Rant: A Workshop, led by writer and performer Dylan Kinnett, and others. Readings will be hosted by poet Jamie Perez and fiction writer Justin Sanders. Musical acts include the psychedelic rock of Duchess and the DeadBirds the poetic harmonies of The Mole Suit Choir, and others.
There will be many incentive gifts to donors of the GoFundMe campaign, including the opportunity to have me custom write you a microfiction that you would then own. You would also receive a video of one of several art luminaries reading the story, including filmmaker, artist, and writer Stephanie Barber and novelist and short story writer Laura van den Berg.
