Erik Benjamins (US) collects images of the sun and turns them into micro-poems. At EKWC, he made and translated a number of them into Dutch with plans to publish them in the Netherlands as a chapbook. Poetry aside, his main focus was continuing to develop a modular series of ceramic reflexology tiles \u2013 tiles with bumps to tread bare-footed \u2013 based on the idea that stimulating the soles of our feet positively influences the entire body.
