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.

you know her...

(click the photos to enlarge)

one of the little lovely humble things i've been wrapped up in. quiet work that, in spite of its simplicity and smallness (or maybe due to it), feels so very important and honest. a little tool with which i am learning the world. poetry and thoughtfulness. this work soothes me. it makes me better than i am.






you know her
10.5" x 5.5"
mixed media artist book
angela simione, 2009

transcription:

she wore the white dress and white shoes
snow-white
under the little wire clamps
pale, nondescript
harmless
her hand to her mouth
she'd had such trouble
cutting. cutting and cutting and cutting.
