To quote Johnny Carson, "I did not know that."
She went to Mills College in Oakland before getting an Art History degree from Barnard & an MFA at Columbia in NYC. Maybe she studied nursing at Mills College.
As far as I know she came from a large wealthy family outside Chicago (Glen Ellyn) & left for NYC to become a sculptor & soon became a visual arist & then an electronic musician in the earliest incarnations of the pre-No Wave scene along with compatriots like Rhys Chatham & Glenn Branca. Somebody has a web page selling obscure avant-garde videos & they had one from a loft party in '76 with all three of them performing. I contacted the person & they said they no longer had the video.
