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.

hear ye! hear ye!

well... the book idea seems to be a good one. but i need a new camera before i can make that happen. in the meantime, i'll start playing around with zines and stuff. it's so much fun! i've made a few for myself in the past and to hand out to friends... nothing too impressive, just playful and sweet and i'd like to get back in to that. i think it's actually a very important practice. it's a really wonderful thing to just get the work out in to the world and not worry so much about whether or not something is Perfect. it is a practice of bravery, for sure. maybe i'll start working on that today.

it's cold here this morning and i need some more coffee before anything else. i ran out of my delicious hazelnut cream yesterday and so i've been dumping brown sugar in my coffee this morning and it tastes like ASS. no good. time to put my jeans on and run down to the store. :/

in other news, i'm letting go some of the work i've been hoarding. i've spent most of the morning updating the shop. take a peak! and there's more on the way. here's a few of my favorite that are up right now at black fence.
