Here’s the catch, as I tell my story. There is not a part 1 yet. Part 1 is a bit much for me to tell. I don’t have the reserves for it right now. It includes a traumatic experience at the age of 16, and then a few years later breakup with my cheating boyfriend[…]
I’ve done it again
Tomorrow night I am displaying my art + giving a talk about my creative process. Often, I get to this point in my art making that I don’t know if anything I create is good anymore. As I prepare for my night of exhibition, I see that my feelings are magnified by the vulnerability of showing[…]
