bursting faces

I am feeling inconsolably sad. My moods are unmanageable, and I feel like I’m never going to get out of this depression. It’s so difficult when the ones closest to you, anyone of whom can possibly alleviate this pain, are thousands of miles away. Even my ‘art’ seems to elude me. I feel hopeless, useless and worthless. Even when I know I’m none of those. The best I can do now, short of lying in the middle of the road with the hope of being run over by a 4 x 4, is draw a picture. So I drew two. Read More

Ayesha’s comment on her Christ Church photo: ‘Hanging about right outside Harry Potter’s dining hall! (Had to quickly run away as the security guards were coming!!).’ She then added, ‘Wish I had a pic of what followed-me totally entangled in the tapestry in a rush to hide from the guard!’ Read More

For weeks I’ve had inquiries and concerns. I’ve written notes and practiced them constantly in my head. But that particular phone call never came. None of it matters now because we have more pressing issues. Even after all this time, we are still learning how to be together, and apart.

faces in envelopes
Posted on June 2, 2013 Leave a Comment
A few months ago I bought these amazing little manilla envelopes. I love stationary and am often at a loss for what to do with it once I buy it. And I also happen to love drafting, graph and tracing paper. So I made these little guys. Don’t ask me what they mean or what they can be used for, they just made me happy at the time. And they feel great to touch and look at. I plan to finish the stack of envelopes (50 in all) and possibly include these in my next PGB exhibition. Read More

last october i received these little bottles of gold, silver and bronze acrylic paint from my now very special friend n. at the time, i hadn’t even met her. we were just instagram friends. so n, thank you for my private olympian moment when you didn’t even know me for real
since then i have met n three times in london, so it’s only befitting that i open these precious bottles now, and drink to her
