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.

simple...

about two weeks ago, my buddy eddie suggested that i cut myself a little stamp of the fences so that i could play around with the image at a much faster pace. i ended up getting that done on new years eve and have been having quite a bit of fun. he was completely right. being able to work with this image at a much more accelerated pace has been so beneficial - figuring out a lot quicker what's working and what's not.

here's one of the prints i made a few days ago; one of the first pieces of 2009:

it's so simple but also such an iconic image. the humble approach to making this piece lends it an elegance and beauty that i was pretty surprised by. my love of minimalism is showing again but i don't care. sometimes what's simplest is best and i really like this piece. i just listed it in the shop, just in case you like it as much as i do.
