About Me

I sound like such a cliche hippie burning-man type when I describe myself online, and I guess I am, so here goes:

Genderqueer vegan artist who makes experimental noise music and twisted metal sculptures which are sometimes wearable.

If you're in town, I'll show you some local experimental music and all the best vegetarian restaurants.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed a little in England, it was absolutely fantastic.

Interests

Noise and twisted steel, heels and pretty dresses.

I really like arthropods. Send me pictures of bugs. Seriously.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like media that leaves you feeling damaged in some way, physically or mentally, as if you had never known that there had always been a knife lodged between your ribs until it is torn out and you begin bleeding profusely, with solace in the knowledge that the coming scar tissue will form a more resilient, experienced and willing human.

Stanley Kubrick, Terry Gilliam, German art films, Funny Games, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Velvet Underground, Metal Machine Music, Sufjan Stevens, Patrick Wolf, the Flaming Lips, Kurt Vonnegut, The Illuminatus! Trilogy, etc. etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Staying in squats in England for a month was awesome. Urban exploring is always pretty mind blowing. Going on tour doing harsh noise performances all the way up and down the east coast is probably the most interesting thing I'll ever do, though.

Countries I’ve Visited

Germany, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In
