Ryan Cassidy

I grew up in the rural hamlet of Salem, Ontario. I was identified 'gifted' in the same year an accident disfigured me. I retreated into an imaginary world of shapes and colours and stories and never really came back. I have dropped out of high school, college, and university, somehow. I've worked a variety of unrelated jobs and have lived in many cities across the country, but have never left the continent. I've been poor for most of my life, but it's been a rich one. I live in London, Ontario.
