Born on one coast and raised on another, Shawn grew up along the backbone of New England and splits his definition of "home" evenly between the White Mountains of New Hampshire, the beaches of Cape Cod and his 1920 house, a mere 300 yards from the fine social establishments of the East Village of Davenport.

By Administrator
A tall, enigmatic pyramid constructed from a series of stacked cubes stands perched on the balcony, a silent witness to the comings and goings of the travelers below. The pyramid's surface is covered with patches of colored sheet metal riddled with snippets of old advertising and logos. Each cube's facet is a small composition in its own right. The fragments of pop-culture detritus of the ziggurat's skin beg to be organized and deciphered, but yield no clear message.
