Written Work

Poems written between 2018 and 2019 documenting feelings of post graduation and my time in Los Angeles. Inspired by indulgence, heart break, and so much disappointing anger.

Zine connected to my thesis project of the same name. I wanted to create a narrative connecting the self portraits to each other and myself by reading them aloud. The poem is a line of reincarnation across the many shards of my identity

Poems made in 2016 thru 2017. I had so many feelings after the 2016 election I was out of imagery and started to type instead. I started playing with formatting as composition for my words as a way to paint and write simultaneously. 

I had never made artwork about my family but I decided writing about them was more genuine. A picture is a thousance words but I needed more than that to encompass my own blood. 

Poem and painting about the frustrations I held with my name as a child. A tomboy wanting to be respected but a woman wanting to be seen as such needing to allow pink into her life and accept she is named after softness
