Eric Altman
Ottawa and Japan
The writing here is by Michael Murray from around 1991. At the time, Mike and I were friends, roommates, and ne’er-do-wells while I was studying art at the University of Ottawa. I was working on a series of stenciled prints and asked Mike to contribute a piece of writing. I can’t recall whether he wrote it specifically for the project or if it was something he already had.


Eric AltmanEric Altman calls both Ottawa and Japan home, depending on what kind of trouble he’s trying to avoid. He has built a quietly successful life by hitting random buttons to see what happens. He’s pretty good at fixing things, and every now and then he makes something new.
