Wanting a bag to carry from show to show, Seattle area poet and performer B.Lyte commissioned me to create both a backpack and a small front body bag. She wanted something that would hold her essentials, that was made from black leather and that looked "kind of dated". Let's do this.

A bit from you know who...

Welcome. When it comes to text communications I like to keep it concise, as words are powerful, but often wasted. About me, know this: I put work in to do the hard things; I find inspiration from nature and the human spirit; I think of how to create a humane and sustainable world constantly; aesthetically and taste-wise, I'm partial to corn.

 

I spend my energy in search of understanding, so I've accumulated a range of skills and experiences. To be honest, it's challenging at times to wrangle my past into a cohesive story for you, the viewer, so this site will likely always be a work in progress. Unlike my projects - many of which have a prompt, a beginning and an ending - I continue to grow and change. I anticipate this patch of digital space will reflect that.
