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.

I had to put a link to your blog on my blog :) So incredible.
This is so random but awhile back you posted about Sylvia Plath and I was gonna share with you that I didn't read anything by Sylvia Plath till about four years ago. Since a teenager I knew about her and wanted to read her poetry and The Bell Jar, ect... but I didn't. I'm sure subconsciously I knew it would open up a lot for me and oh shit it did :). I guess that speaks to how powerful her work is. I don't know if that correlates to some of your posts before? just thought I'd share.
And I'm following Radish King's blog and saw Elsie over there:)
And yay Bat for Lashes
Hope the storm is passing.
Also You are a Stranger Here speaks a lot to me in my personal life, as does a lot of your work but right now that one really connects :)
sylvia plath's work is probably one of the biggest influences on my own. and not just my work but my life... finding all the hidden, over-looked ways to practice compassion. and it is definitely a hard practice but good and i'm so happy you've been struck by the force of her work as well. she is an amazing writer, poet, artist, all the way around.
'you are a stranger here' is currently hanging up on the wall right by the front door. ha! it's one of my new favorites.
bat for lashes, especially this particular video, is amazing.
Wonderful work, thanks for posting it.
I love the girl paperchains - like wee bats
thank you so much! they DO look like bats! ha!
love your poem at mungbeing. beautiful. :)
I've been thinking lately about your incredible courage. It is so easy to let sentimentality seep into our art. Your art is never that. And while you allow dark and danger in, you never let it overcome your artistic integrity. You tread a fine line so beautifully and with such great heart. I know that's why it speaks to me. You are fierce and caring and your art reflects that.

most of the time i don't feel very courageous... but it is what i'm trying for. thank you so so so much. i can't tell you what a great comfort it is to me to know that the work hits someone else in the heart. knowing another human being is effected by the work is the biggest, best gift and lets me know that i am on the right track. it gives me that sought after courage and helps me to reach for the bravery it takes to be honest. thank you! :)
the work looks amazing, I LOVE the useless needlepoint.
yay! thank you!!! i've been so inspired by your blog and art practice that i've gotten back on board with this kind of work. it's just so GREAT!!!!! and i have very much missed it. :)
