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.

good morning!

the work week is off to a wonderful start. wonderful! bringing that old painting of mine in to my studio yesterday was exactly what i needed. i'm wrestling with a monster of a canvas right now which i have lovingly nic-named 'the grey girls'. i've been working on it for about 2 hours already today and am hoping that i can keep my stamina up for a few more before i move on to something else. with so much in the works right now, some days it's hard to know where to begin, what project to pick up first, and what to do once i figure it out. the past two days, however, have been absolutely great- welcoming the many opportunities for exploration really gave me a break from the pressure to be some sort of art bad-ass. blah. what the hell kind of goal is that anyway? ha! lame!
