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.

a sentence we've all used... a sentence we've all heard...

the 3rd banner is finished!



this banner is actually a re-vamp of an earlier version i'd done in school- minus all the kinks and flaws in the design. :)

i'd become attracted to cliches- their importance within our culture... how they could be used to identify members of a culture...
how a cliche could actually function as "common ground"... a statement that could cross the divide of difference and bring people closer together... offer a place where real discussion could take place because, with the help of a cliche, we might actually feel understood by The Other...

and i've been thinking about cliches ever since...



Dear John, Dear Jane
Crocheted LED Banner
angela simione, 2009


we've all heard these words. we've all used them.
this banner asks the viewer to finish the sentence, make the cliche specific, personal... fill it up with your own heartache, your own losses, your own wishes.
