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.

rest

the work day ended early due to 'the royal tenenbaums' and my new kiki smith books arriving in the mail box. 2 poems came out and i think i may have finally finished one of the big oils. i'll know by monday... or at least make a decision about it. for the next two days though, i want nothing heavy. nothing that needs analysis or even much attention. just softness. a warm place.

You've worked hard enough for now. It seems to me as you suggest, it's time for a rest. Besides, I'm finding it hard to keep up with you.
