The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web. That is why we must not discriminate between things. Where things are concerned there are no class distinctions. --Pablo Picasso--

My Interests

Sleeping outside. Clay and liquid glass. Translucence and modulation. Structures and shadows. Logic and the phenomenal. Farmers' markets. My shiny red bike. Being in water. Driving in the sunrise. Taking things apart. Putting things together. Goats and other farm animals (but especially goats). Black coffee. Bricolage. Mayonnaise. Melting. Worlds, words, worth. Being. Moving.

I'd like to meet:

David Attenborough. Lee Bontecou. Kiki Smith. Gore Vidal. Fuzzy as a human being.
