CREATIVE NOURISHMENT
film photography, vegan hot chicken, urban & rural exploration, femme & queer horror anything, zines, beast and plant identification, watering my every-growing plant army each Wednesday, David Bowie’s Diamond Dogs album, staring into the void and identifying its color, printmaking, watching Hannibal for the 100th time, winning a round of Ticket to Ride, days when I can keep the windows open, art abandonment, fresh picked veggies, wearing all black to optimally absorb the sun’s powers, snail mail, cross-media collaboration (Have an idea? Please reach out!), hearing German spoken in unexpected places, incredibly niche local festivals, cicada hums, Language and Myth by Ernst Cassirer, playing piano poorly, thumbing through an old commonplace book, when the ethereal and mundane collapse into one another, tips & compliments
