I’ve been going through a period of massive change and it’s only natural that it reflects in what I make. This is the fun part. This is the experimenting and the failure and then the discovery. I’m uncertain and afraid and a little sad but I’m so excited for what’s in store. Anyways here’s a new piece in gouache on paper (18x24
Last night I dreamed I died and became everything. The rising sun welcomed me home and the shadows at my feet danced with me. When I woke up they were still dancing on the walls and I was no longer afraid of anything.

Paintings about hope and love and all the big feelings that possess a person at 5:30 AM watching the sun rise over 6th avenue. I want to be part of the big sky. I want to melt away in the early mist. I want to be the city. I want to feel you around me.

I’ve been struggling with insomnia for the past few weeks and spending a lot of time walking around in the middle of the night. As a silver lining I get to see some of the most interesting light interactions and feel secret night time feelings.

These works may not be my absolute best but I’m back in the studio and this is marking what appears to be the gradual end of possibly the darkest period of my life. I’m so full of love and gratitude and hope for the future.

Thanks so much to my beautiful friends for listening to me spill my guts. Poetry is vulnerable especially when you’re a terminal oversharer, it was so hard to give a reading but I had so much love and support.

Please come, it will be very serious but I am trying to write some jokes. If you come I’ll tell you a joke that will also make you cry.
