I can tell you this much - after I’m gone I would be very pleased to be described as a builder of tangible stories. I hope the author of this obituary is kind enough to say that I found too much satisfaction in the act of making to be limited to one particular medium. And, that I created these curioscapes using semi-fictional, semi-biographical fragments, that when assembled was politely referred to as art that reflected my Midwestern upbringing and assumed childhood inhalation of plastic model glue. Finally, after misspelling the name of my wife and two of our three boys, there, at the bottom is the photograph. A black and white halftone scrap, a timeless but deficient indicator of experiences had.
