About
My name is Peter Strange Yumi. I make art with my computer, and whatever else I can get my hands on.
I was recently homeless, living in my VW and traveling around the country, until it broke down. I live in Denver, Colorado now and work as a cook at a deli. I spend most of my time making my video work, or traveling to and from Cape Cod to attend my MFA residency at The Fine Arts Work Center. 
Being an artist and being homeless, was a fortunate thing, it allowed me to create while being free from the constraints of life that most live with. Most of the work on my pages here, I made either living in Pennsylvania with ex-wife and friend Karla Kelsey, or it was made while homeless living in and out of my VW van.
My motion based images are influenced by the work of Poets like Steve McCaffery , Charles Bernstein, John Cage, Merce Cunningham, one pot or one pan cooking and American Western Cowboy Culture .
I am currently working on my MFA at Mass Arts. I hope to one day see my dog Jessie again.
I saw an article on you in th daily Item and was drawn by the photograph of that covered bridge. I love the premise and the technique seems unique as well. I am from Lewisburg and go to school for Photography at Penn College of Technology in Williamsport. It is always interesting to find talented people in the area with the same love for the medium. I would love to discuss more about what kind of format you are using to shoot as well as other technical aspects of your work. If nothing else, please keep me posted on any shows you are doing in the area.
Peace be with You,
John D. Nicholson

Peter, you AND your work are – excuse me children and ladies – fucking awsome. Sorry I can’t be more creative with words than that, but it is succinctly descriptive.
So glad we met up. Oh, by the way, still…..”I don’t WANNA go home!”.
