I’ve been making things, writing things, doing things and teaching things for 20 years. I’ve lived in 3 cities, 2 provinces and countless apartments and houses. I’ve been homeless with all my things in storage. I’ve moved across the country with stuff in a secondhand car. I’ve done plays for free. I’ve had a budget. I’ve believed in the show with every fibre of my being. I’ve cared so little and just put clothes on actors so they wouldn’t be naked.

I’ve held newly born animals in my hands. I’ve held dying animals in my arms while they breathed their last. I’ve held new babies and the hands of old people. I’ve held many, many feathers and stones and polished beach glass. I’ve held threads and fabrics older than me, made by people who died before I was born, worn by people I will never meet. I’ve sewn garments for people who will never know my name. I’ve crafted incredible costumes I will never keep, or even reasonably see again, for an audience of people who will never read the program, who might never remember seeing them.

I don’t want to ever stop making things. I don’t care if I ever make money for any of the things I make. I don’t care if the people I make them for ever know I did. I just want to do things that Matter. I want you to know that I made them because I love the process of Making and I don’t want fame, or riches, or whatever but at some point, somewhere, I hope someone notices. I hope I matter to someone. Somewhere. Someday. (Your picture was not posted)
