About Me


"The ruin or the blank that we see when we look at Nature, is in our own eye."

I am a raw milk PHANTOM on a tight rope.

I collect found artifacts because I love the texture of rusty metal and the beauty in decomposition.

I'm in love with lakes and fells and redwood groves.

I like climbing rocky hills when it's foggy and tropical outside, hazy and inspired inside.

I'd rather vacuum, play the bass, smell a recently shot cap gun, or listen to records than _____

Distressed typography, photography, light, lamps, and mobiles are where it's at!
