Bio: I'm an artist and writer living in Northern California. I wrote a book about clay and grief, CRACKED POT (Latah Books, 2024), and a chapbook of poems NEXT DOOR (Bottlecap Press 2025). I had a solo show at Hugomento, INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS (2024), and UTOPIAN POTS at Epperson Gallery, 2022.
Statement: "It is not down on any map; true places never are.”
― Herman Melville, Moby-Dick or, The Whale
Essays are literary whales: elusive and enigmatic. The form of writing, the beauty of an idea, should never
be contained to within a single line or a square paragraph box. The ideas in Whale Essays are meant to be felt, not read. I believe that reading doesn't have to be conscripted or predetermined. In fact, sometimes I believe you just need to perceive beyond words.
