I weave things; I write; I obsess about fairly abstract, poetic things that I love, though confess to understand poorly from an artist's perspective (implications of Platonic mathematics; ideals versus real results of standardized global measurement; 21st-century capitalism). I obsess about fairly concrete things, too, like composting, my morning coffee, daily textures of wool or cotton or silk. I'm on the quiet side, but am good company and can be silly/ridiculous with a little provocation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been moving around a lot over the last several years since grad school, and am interested in meeting like-minded folks in my neighborhood.
