About Me

CURRENT MISSION

meet new people, learn.

ABOUT ME

artist stuck between new york and berlin.

In a nutshell--my work is an investigation into memory as a social function and the role that spaces (architectural and otherwise) play within this.

I like learning about the history of the places I visit and how the history has affected the people who live there and the architecture that stands there. Of course, with that is politics. But I can avoid this topic if you're squeamish.

Also. I like to laugh and of course, love to travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Great conversations. Good nights rests.
