Writer StatementI agree with John Gardner that the writing of fiction is the "creation of a vivid and continuous dream." To write, one enters this dream state and allows one's characters to inhabit one's being and to speak through one. My fiction influences are diverse and range from 19th-century traditionalists like Henry James, Edith Wharton and George Gissing to 20th-century modernists like James Joyce and Virginia Woolf and postmodernists like Donald Barthelme. The Decryption of Floriform X -- This short, illustrated fiction was written on Twitter circa 2008, each tweet numbered to keep track. The God of Wind and Air -- Unfinished sequel to Decryption, written collaboratively on Twitter. The Manuscript of Jacob Hall -- Why write fiction? What is it "for"? |
Tuesday, June 22, 2010Zero Waste PosterDesigned this poster after an afternoon spent hand-weaving folded strips of brilliantly colored supermarket-advertising inserts into a hardware-string warp on a cardboard loom. The Zero Waste theme was carried out in this digital design by including all cut-and-pasted bits and pieces. Labels: image |
