THE FORESTS OF ESTONIA


When I moved from Estonia to Los Angeles I was only four years old but memories of the dead wood of Western Taiga are indelibly etched in my imagination.

My work as an artist and writer is rooted in those memories. No strip mall, no freeway, no glimmering marquee can efface those memories.
