like most people, i have always had an urgency to depart my hometown, well not just town, but state, coast, maybe even country. i remember begging my mom to go to high school in vermont because the people seemed more down to earth to me than the kids i knew in my town. i was always on a search for something different. living in cities have always energized me + helped me start build the career i have wanted. suburban life kills that creative drive. sometimes it puts a dagger deep in my soul. i also know I am not and will never been one to conform. that is part of being an artist for me anyways. not like most people, I am easily amused + content observing. its energizing for me to be meeting new people. i have always considered myself a wanderer. and not all those who wander are lost!
whenever i am home (yes my parents still live in the house that I grew up in) i try to go through some memorabilia aka. crap. i swore I tossed this shadow box of sneakers i made from my sons collection as he grew. well it somehow ended up back in the basement. i suggest to mom to just bring it to savers. well, i get a call the other day about how she got ahold of david bieber after watching a tv program on david bieber archives. she tells me this museum collection is massive as they place the shadowbox in the room of shoes, we’re talking ceiling to floor filled. it really sounds quite impressive this collection which is rented out or sold to interested parties. rooms of tv, record, poster collections. david bieber collections has now adorned the rebuild of the verb hotel in fenway. if you haven’t stopped by this hotel you should! pretty cool stuff. oh and thanks mom!! my new agent ;)
