Tei Kobayashi: I have built a shelter, a "home". Step inside and listen to stories of being homeless, feel homelessness from within. My godson Zachary Dryden has inspired this work with the homeless.Tei is a site-specific installation/performance artist. Born in Arizona, raised in Colorado, she now lives in Japan with her dog, cat and husband. She has spent the last year in Denver caring for her mother. Her work has been exhibited in North and South America, Africa, Eastern and Western Europe, Asia, and Australia. But what about Antarctica? Stay tuned.

TRIOLET FOR TEIAll of our houses have the same face,so I gave mine a large nose.Which I think makes it look a bit out of placeamong all of these houses that share the same face.Better that, though, than to blend without trace.To become anonymous is to be eaten by bozos.All of our houses have the same face,so I gave mine a large nose.~ J Diego Frey – August 4th, 2010
