Sasha is a founding member of the Everso Secret order of the Lamprey - an art happening begun in Chicago in 1997 and now global. collaborated in Chicago with Terrance Karpowitz (co-founder of Pier Walk, Chicago), Kenneth Morrison and the postal guerrilas Michael Thompson and Michael Hernandez d' Luna, exhibiting at Pier Walk, Flotilla and in numerous group shows.
