53 | This CV was inspired by the wonderful lineage of Google Sheet websites and CVs, and the work of Laurel Schwulst, Chia Amisola, and Jo Suk, as a transitory container for my information and work experience after read.cv was shut down. As always, I am grateful for the examples set by the artists before me, whether I am lucky to call them peers, inspirations, mentors or friends. | ||||||
