music: composing, singing, improvising, jamming. creating melodies from voice, multiple tunings, mixing up language, drones, amplification, feedback, beats, electronic waveforms.
drawings: laying down lots of dots, curvy, straight lines, circles, colors. with pencils, sharpies, ink, acrylic, paint pens, etc. layers interplay, je ne sais quoi.
dolls: stumbled into when learning how to tie knots with cotton rope and silk. photo scenes inspired by a longtime obsession with fashion, playing pretend and claymation via view masters and rankin and bass holiday specials...
whims: for a long time, i wrote mainly letters via email or text. over the last couple of years, i wrote so many emails and texts, that i started writing without pressing send.
family roots: my mom taught me how to look, collect - dolls, teddy bears, avon decanters, charms, whatever - and to appreciate the misfits that ended up in the clearance bin. my dad taught me how to listen to the things you could barely hear, disco beats on headphones, by repeat replay again.
