I met Eric through his Instagram @knitsbyed. The day I found his work he also discovered mine which lead to an active Insta-friendship.

We’re watching the new documentary “Eva Hesse” while eating some sweet and sour turkey jerky that we snuck in, and sobbing. We’re watching the…

Lyle Carbajal is an artist who at the time of this article’s release is residing in New Orleans, Louisiana. We were drawn to his series Romancing Banality which was conceived in Houston, TX where Carbajal resided at the time.
