Phantom muscle and bone pains can rattle, but here they comfort. Whether it's the dirt coating my nostrils after a music fest, sweat stained from the gym, pained motocross competitions, bruised hands from stitching leather and plastic, or euphoria from queer spaces of the night, my work grimaces with a wink. The works are a broken leg that didn't heal properly; it's something that's a glimmer from a childhood crash that — instead of a wince — is a Cheshire smile.�
