bio: "If you're not going to be a fanatic, why bother?" As this website amply shows. I plan to make the most of the gift of conscious life, and hope to leave a legacy your children will love instead of curse, and if I'm lucky, make a few more fanatics along the way. Eccentric people are just more fun.

In keeping with this philosophy, I've organized my life as an explosion of creative chaos, branching from science and ecology to the arts. Exploring my passion for architecture, urban design, permaculture, gardening, photography, painting, people of other cultures, Dadaism, geology, the Italian Baroque, water systems, linguistics, cartography, pollution and vocabulary, I can feel the knots starting to tie themselves together as the new millenium breaks away from the starting gates.

Synthesis will be the theme of the next twenty years of my life. The work I am building up to is one that has required fastidious study and practice of an extraordinary number of disciplines. It will be a mature and multi-dimensional work that calls on the metaphoric content of these disciplines and rearranges their syntax.

If, on the other hand, you are what you do, this website IS my bio.
