i will definitely wear this ALL around this fall.
p.s. also- check out that sweet piece up top! graphite baby! ;)
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.

This particular banner made me cry but in a good way the thought of her wrapped up in your warmth and empathy. You are a gift. I still see all of these hanging in a forest as an installation oh yes indeed I do. Or the Muir Woods.
yay, activation!! love the home graphite piece too.
