Eden Hemming Rose

On her first day of kindergarten, Eden Hemming Rose hitchhiked to school. With a disposition like that, she had to find many creative outlets early on. By herself, she records as Mass Ornament; with her husband Brad Rose, she records as Altar Eagle. She also edits this zine and studies archaeology. Her latest hobby is sitting on shady porches.
