cephalopods...I love cephalopods. laughing at humanity, photographing waste, mixing metaphores. making sculpture, looking things up in the dictionary, questioning, exploring.
People in Oakland or the Bay Area who are interested in: Painting, Screenprinting, Printmaking, Sculpting with found objects, the many uses for adhesive, finding hidden places, Neuropsychology, Questioning hegemony, and Sushi. Other grouchy people for pithy, erudite, and nerdy exchange. Someone special to sneer at, but most importantly someone I can be alone with.
