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.

Lamb

angela simione, 2010

round 1. i will definitely be drawing her again. i haven't captured her exactly right but it's still a powerful image. i will proceed faithfully. she deserves the highest level of respect, attention, and care.

Cami said...

Oh, yes. Lamb is the perfect title.

angela simione said...

cami, thank you for that. i struggled a bit thinking i should put her name in parenthesis in the title somewhere but then decided against it... that Lamb said it all. i'm so glad you agree.
