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.

last day...

and there is snow! real snow, not just flurries. actual, deep, sticking to the road snow! there's gotta be 4 inches out there! and it's still twirling down. gorgeous! me and my mom already went and stomped around in it twice. i love that crunch under my foot and i can't even tell you how many years it's been since i got to feel it and see it and hear it. and the cardinals look like they're glowing against all this white. absolutely beautiful! there's a slight chance my flight home might be cancelled but right now i'm okay with that. it's just so much magic and so much beauty and so much wonder.

The crunch of crusted over snow, mid calf high and your foot decends hopefully into fluff. Lovely Angela. What a trip!

rebecca-
i'm so glad i got to share it with my mom! we went crunching around in it twice and sat on the back porch and watched the storm for awhile before it just got too damn cold to stay out there any longer. so beautiful! but i'm glad i don't have to drive around in that sort of thing. hahahahaha! it sure is fun to play in though. :)
