Blackland : national arts in education week

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.

keep on relishing in the Goodness!!!

national arts in education week continues! i give you the amazing Zoe Leonard.

i've been staring at her images a lot lately. A LOT. there is a quality... a roughness, a thoughtfulness, a diaristic sort of awareness taking place in her documents. there is a quality in her work that i want for myself, for my own work.

she makes me want to read more Susan Sontag.

divine excuse!

i just found out that september 12 - 18 is National Arts in Education week! YAY!!!! this is a great excuse to fawn all over your favorites, research their work and ideas, or just bask in the awesomeness of painting, drawing, sculture, needlework, film, photography, performance, fashion, poetry, fiction, dance, etc, etc, etc!

ART GEEK IT UP!

here's 15 favorites of mine. i could've easily hit 100. 15 seemed a bit more fair. hahaha! i leave the research to you and your very capable hands. :)
