Get Your Squeak On
A review by Carol Anne Welsh of a slide lecture in September 2003 at Washington University in St. Louis, MO that includes: “Squeak began her talk by confiding that she despised delivering these sorts of speeches and vowed never again to be convinced to talk in front of an audience for at least another ten years. She also implored those who desired to leave early to please do so, insisting that she would not be the least bit offended. Once comfortably drenched in darkness and decidedly in charge of the slide projector's magic-twonger, Squeak revealed very personal and interesting snippets of her life and her own unique process of making art.” For more personal and interesting snippets, see the September 29, 2003 issue of Student Life, the independent newspaper of Washington University in St. Louis since 1878.
