For 20 years I've been building works with tension and compression: the tension comes from me and the materials I use, the compression comes from my spine.

I saw @JohnLeguizamo perform freak in the theater in the 90’s. From the ward Sutton poster to his iconic red shirt and black pants I can still remember it all. One person shows are really incredible. Ars longa vita brevis.

In 2012 I was part of a panel on art and science. This was the sculpture that greeted us at the heart center. I will never forget the horror.

A throwback to 7 years ago, which was mid Trump 1.0. I was fully committing to my project at the time while living in Grand Rapids for a week, enjoy. I know I did. Screenshots episode 4 (2017) youtu.be/wjwp3C0wMoI?si=lwZj… via @YouTube
