Most of what you’ll find here began as a question I couldn’t leave alone.

The thread.

The things I make begin in the same place.

A question.
A contradiction.
Something I notice but can’t quite explain.

Sometimes it becomes writing.
Sometimes art.
Sometimes a framework.
Sometimes an entire company.

I rarely know which until much later.

Gentleness and precision have never felt like opposites to me.

And, Still

Grief doesn't end. It just changes shape. This is what stayed after the ones we loved didn't.

I can't draw. I never could.

So I took my poetry and turned it into something I could actually see. I even built the tool that produced images. I'm still not entirely sure why - frustration, probably.

A few of the images were harrowing to look at.
