About the work:

Things start where you don't know and end up where you know.
When you know is when you ask. How did this start?
-Tom Spanbauer

Having known Adam as a dear friend, colleague and collaborator for over a decade - his act of reaching out to commission works in response to his father's passing with his inheritance is so characteristically generous, emotionally raw, and blazing with the act of creation. My contribution to this space takes its title from Spanbauer's novel which seems to connect in ways I both understand and don't quite know.
