bio

Harsh Michigan winters. Cracked ice. Detuned: The shed kept—Wilson Hall. Herron. The ravine. The mill. The woods. A warehouse of old men. Hollywood was there. Oregon took three days. The Intersection. A Polaroid. Coiled in Trauma. In the classroom. Those books and these now. Days melt into frost, into film. Cannibal. Watch the rug disappear. Detroit. Rapids. Holland. The Old Miami. Dental Team. Incheon. Iwai. Bullfrogs. Paradise is my Shinjuku. Higashi Koenji. Last train. Under camera lights. Ferris Wheel. Sick in Beijing haze. Toxic. Sour. Silver band. To open light. Onward, paws and fingers.
