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.

Those moths are wonderful. They look so alive with such bold outlines.

thanks, elisabeth! i'd carved this image out of rubber a couple years ago and found it again in the way back of a cabinet the other day. so these little guys are all hand-pulled prints that i painted on top of. i'm so glad you like them! i think i'm going to put up a huge string of them in the living room window.
