Ezra grew up in the Midwest’s “Rust Belt” surrounded by decaying factories and corn fields, and now wonders if that’s what inspired a passion for rusty things and…well, anything made with corn. Ezra graduated from RISD with a BFA in Illustration, and is currently obsessed with found-object assemblage, shrine-making, puppets, dolls, jewelry, and other three-dimensional mixed-media forms of expression. Ezra is a collector, a lucid dreamer, an optimist and a good listener (big talker too). In addition to making stuff, Ezra enjoys dumpster-diving, being a book/movie/videogame geek, playing the banjo, singing, antique-hunting, caring for plants, pets and people, and hugging a lot.
