Home = (Person + Place) x Time
If home is a person plus their space
formed by time, a person is
equal to home divided by time minus place.
Without the homes I have inhabited:
Munich, Seattle, and New Orleans,
I would be an empty-person shell.
Since I am not an empty-person shell
and have instead been informed by
my places, spaces, and people,
I am made up of roughly equal parts
artist, social policy wonk,
city-centric entrepreneur,
and pun-lover.
Through my work—artistic and otherwise—
I strive to contribute to building equitable cities,
and believe in the power of art to inspire
value shifts that, through culture change,
lead to the systems changes
required for a more just and
compassionate society.
