Metaforest

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2015

I write a lot of nonsense that looks like poetry. Then I hide the poems in various types of digital and printed ephemera so it looks like art. Next, I string fragments and scribbles together with them so that they look like they are actually clues in some grand, unifying mystery. Finally, I leave them somewhere, in public or online, as a sort of street art gypsy-style form of art abandonment. I frequently look to Atlas Obscura for inspiration and references during these endeavors.
