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.


my artist website is here.

sunday...

...the day of rest. sort of. all my projects are now well in to the realm of painstakingly slow detail work and my goal of getting them all wrapped up by the new year is starting to seem a bit unrealistic. :) that's what i get for starting too many things at once, i suppose... a tendency that runs through my entire family. it's alright. they'll all be completed about the same time and i'll have tons of pictures to post. until then, i'll post pictures of other people's work! check out this work by artist Candice Lin:







totally creepy, totally gorgeous, work after my own heart! i love it! sadly, the gallery i found her through has closed it's doors but i was still so overjoyed to see this work. technically stunning, conceptually and emotionally engaging, amazing all the way around. Lin's work makes me what to get back to my days of pencil drawing and see what beautiful spookiness i can come up with.
