I recently spoke at length to author, educator, and musician Meghan Lamb, about my music, my art, my relationship to Chicago, and other topics. Our conversation was transcribed and illustrated with some of my art, as well as other pertinent images. It was published this week by Bridge, Chicago's independent, interdisciplinary, hardcover journal and online magazine of art and public scholarship. I hope you take the time to read it, as it was a unique opportunity for me to cover a lot of ground with someone who clearly did their homework and who developed a great set of questions to guide the conversation.

Black Openings
Black Openings is a visual accompaniment to the 2023 album, Black Openings, by my band Anatomy of Habit. The fifty black and white pictures are derived from unreal photographs that I created using AI platforms, during the spring of 2023. I edited and manipulated the pictures in a way that parallels how I process music, in a familiar analog manner. The text that is included is the lyrics of the album's title track. Black Openings 01 (Variant) and Black Openings 02 (Variant) contain real and unreal architecture. The original versions of these two pictures appear on the covers/packaging of the LP, CD, cassette, and digital versions of the Anatomy of Habit album Black Openings. Black Openings 03-50 contain only unreal architecture. Print length: 154 Pages
