to hang a pencil

My best friend Burke (they/them) is a brilliant writer who struggles with schizoaffective disorder.

This project originated with one core premise their friend Elliot and I shared: Burke has things to say that we all need to hear.

Luckily Burke agreed and assembled 40+ artists/illustrators/designers—individuals from all spheres of their life—to contribute to this project.

This project is centered around a database of poems that Burke has written over the past 10 years.  We recorded Burke reciting each of these poems and folks brought these poems to life visually.
