"Yesterday I co-produced my partner Jon’s first solo exhibition in 2 years, called “Witness.” I’ve been living with him the past months as he has been composing and drawing in oil stick, the ICE murders across the country. I think they are masterpieces, and an experience we don’t always experience as close observers and community. "
