He was born and raised in Iowa. Over the course of two years, he traveled to breakfast places in the state of Connecticut for a series of poems and black and white photographs titled “Diners of Connecticut.” The premise of this series was to make strange art in public spaces for no discernible reason, often in conversation with creative human beings from around the state, in order to promote the idea that art can and should exist in settings that do not require it. Photographs of the diner tour can be found at instagram.com/dinersofconnecticut.
