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.

these rainy days...

mahogany glitter
black ink... dripped, splattered, and spilled
off-white wool... especially in the form of a big, chunky sweater
Payne's grey
ivory black
ivory white
(a touch of vermilion every now and then)
exploration and the mess it brings
patti smith
anne sexton
henry rollins
black and white animals... polar bears, ostriches, magpies... :)
wind-filled skirts and dresses
long, unruly hair
ripped up sneakers
patent leather mary janes
white walls
wooden floors
rain on the roof (for the past 6 days straight)
day dreaming
night-owling
hazelnut coffee
my sweetheart sleeping next to me
