these texts are an archive of my life in the San Francisco Bay Area from march 2007 - march 2015. it stands as a record of close to a decade of my life, charting the struggles i faced as an artist, daughter, and lover. messy and chaotic at times, eloquent and poetic at others, these texts are an index i am proud of. it was here in this electric box that i learned how to be honest about my experiences and the person i needed to become. it was here that i first learned the truism that words make the world and how to trust such a beautiful, rife, hard fact.

thank you for meeting me here in such tall grass.

another little girl painting...

this piece is for the Hueliday show at HANG next month - a holiday show that celebrates color. and let me tell ya, it has been quite a challenge for me to allow color to come back in to the work! but i am endlessly thankful for the challenge. i think i've needed color in my life - at least a little bit - but for the past few months i have needed a more black and white approach to living for personal reasons. just something basic, bare bones, and unassuming, i suppose. but because of this show and having to commit to the color yellow, i've become a much more positive person and, though the work is still a bit morbid (i'm sure it always will be), i think a splash of color makes a huge difference and i'll be making the effort to include more color in future work. not as bright as this painting is, but i'll apply the lesson for sure.
