I like weird. Weird is the only thing that makes sense to me because weird dares to challenge reality. Reality is often just our fears realized, so why not have a better idea about it. I was raised on Theatre of the Absurd, and by that I guess I mean Jim Henson. I value the bones and math of his work in its foundation of compassion over cynicism. I like the idea of showing up for other people's pain, not necessarily trying to fix it--even though comedy usually comes close to making it feel better. As a kid, I dreamt about volcanos a lot; volcanoes that swallowed people sadness and barfed out flowers. I guess I've always been interested in transmutation of pain into abstraction so it again can return to usefulness, if not beauty.
