running on about 4 hours of sleep... sorta messed up my early morning schedule during the weekend by staying up a bit late and waking up a bit late so getting up at 5am today was a bit of a struggle. but thank the lord for hot, caffeinated, brown beverages and canvas to screw around with. i was feeling awake by 6 and started painting right away. i sure am gonna miss these canvasses when i finally drag them down to the gallery. i love them. i don't know exactly why but, looking at them, just being in the same room with them, makes me feel safe and that life isn't all bad.
the sun is back, the rain is gone, and it's definitely warm enough to forget my jacket today.
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.
