Blackland : aaaaand another one

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.

aaaaand another one

about an hour before bed last night, i got hungry for some more painting and started another portrait of 'The Good Daughter'. i got in bed on time but lay awake for hours feeling so excited about painting and possibility and tomorrow. and the very first thing on my mind when my sore and tired eyes opened this morning was painting and possibilities and endless endless endless opportunity to make and build and try.

i poured my coffee. i wrote in my notebook. i went back and finished the portrait.

the new week is off and running.
