Biography

Lindsay is a tentmaker. Using textile and printmaking techniques, they build safe, quiet homes. Fabric is gathered from friends, dumpsters, and scrap piles and lovingly made into walls and windowsills. Reclaimed glass and oil-soaked paper become windows that filter light and obscure the outside world. Lindsay builds homes of empathy, both fragile and resilient.

Dedicated to the art of oral histories and home building, they are in the continual process of learning what it means to be a country queer in the world today.
