Here’s a 2021 photo dump for you, my dear fren. I sincerely appreciate everyone who’s reached out since January, and I’m sorry for being MIA. There has been a lot of loss and grief.. first losing my Babushka, then moving out of my apartment in NY (I’ll be back one day). But that being said, there is also new joy. Say hi to my new bear cub Lilith 🥰 She and Babi only got to spend a brief amount of time together, but nonetheless it was so special. I’m infinitely grateful for this little creature. My heart is healing very slowly. So I guess in summary, cheers, to chapters—the cherished closed ones and the newly opened. We lost you today. 99 years old. I will never stop missing you. My Babushka, my world, my best friend. Rest in peace, you beautiful powerful soul. So this is how my art pieces start. Behold my current trash tray. It’s like a compost pile in the kitchen, but for bits of leftover materials from other current projects. Like scraps of paper, bottle caps, painted shells and pipe cleaners. Also random items that would otherwise get thrown away—like dead flowers, translucent binder dividers from high school, ugly scarves, etc. All I want to do is give the clutter a home. There are little stories in these layers. It’s nice to watch them growing in increments. (I really hope this made sense. Thank you for reading all the way down to here. You are dope and I love you) 🌲🛤 “at some point So I found an unopened package of silicone nipple covers and a bunch of old bra straps and then I was like ok bet this is a witty caption surrender ur garbage to me so that I may glue it to other pretty pieces of garbage (like bottle caps, yarn, broken mirrors/plates, pen caps, etc) 🌚gimme gimme pls & ty ily pls observe my aesthetically pleasing pile of garbage (if you look hard enough, you might just catch a glimpse of the pop singing sensation P!NK grring at you) mother.. i cravE viOlenCe 🌚
