I was brought up in brooklyn. I come from eastern european jews, a very russian romanian. So i don't have nestalgic memories of it at all. There's parts of it that are beautiful. It's not really for me. And also, i see the ghosts behind that art gallery where my mother used to make cool things out of like toothpicks. The ghost of horrible meats and mouldering meats drag me back there. When did you move out? When i was two. Oh, b we moved to queens oh, awas doand then staton islands. But how much do you feel like that shaped or influenced you?
