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.

yum

potatoes boiling and brussel sprouts too and steaks in the broiler. garlic and pepper and butter across every inch of every thing. our home smells good. this week is all about cooking. comfort foods. none of that fancy stuff, just good ol' home-cooked deliciousness. and i don't mind one bit. i'm looking forward to my sweetie's christmas vacation- lazy days under quilts and watching movies, hiding and huddling together from the winter outside the windows. lazy days spent with Angela Carter- i just started The Infernal Desire Machines of Doctor Hoffman and am already hooked. lolling around in warmth and words and letting this strange, hard year wind itself down. i've had enough and am content now to wait it out. except when it comes to the paintings. 4 huge oils going now and it is quite the juggling act but happy and fun. i'm excited for where the work will go this coming year, where it will take me. i'm excited for so many things and looking forward to january 1st.
