"I do not express or represent, I make possible."

Concise as a “ . ”
Confronting drawing with written and spoken word; using restricted but potent means - a line, few words, a laconic performance - that are inventively being combined, I record, exercise and test life throughout a complex flow of astute, witty poetry.
I am a realist in observation and a fabulist in suggestion.
