Chin up, chin up, chin up!

I'm working on a little animation for my Aesthetic Theory class (pictured above is one of the many drawings I've made for the piece!). In other news, there is a possible snow storm headed towards New York. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited for the possibility of a day off from school! Hey, a girl can dream, can't she?

My favorite feeling.

Charlies belly makes the world a livable place.

Bed Head

Ah, bed. I will miss thee, as once school starts, I have a feeling I won't be enjoying your soft, warm comfy-ness quite as often.

go to bed!

"Seriously though, you should really grow your hair out. I like it when girls have long hair."

I've decided to chop my hair all the way off again. :]

Home, Sweet, Sweet, Sweet, Sweet Home.

Well friends, I'm back from Provance!

The experience was unbelievable. I am now an expert in telling the difference between Gothic and Romanesque architecture, I've seen a handful of France's most well-preserved fortresses and cathedrals, I swam in the Mediterranean sea, wandered through the mental hospital where Van Gogh spent his final year and painted the famous Starry Night, mastered French public transportation, and even ate quail! There is no possible way for me to describe how amazing it all was, even my photos can't capture the beauty of everything that I saw, tasted, felt, and yes, even heard (there was an accordionist!).

Head over to my Flickr to see my photos! Click here.

May, I hardly knew thee!

So, wow. May is almost over already. It's been a crazy month! Sadly, next week is my last interning with Etsy. I can honestly say it was the best job ever. Have you been keeping up with my posts on the Etsy blog? If not, head over here and check out what I've been up to! And please, pleeaaasse consider taking a look-see at my little shop here.

Oh Deer

Too many April showers lately, if you ask me.

just livin' the dream, ya'll

Washed my undies by hand today! Laundromat shmaundromat, that's what I say. (Actually I'm just that much of a hermit.)

Other than scrubbing panties in the sink, my hands have been quite busy working on a new piece for my sculpture class. No details yet!

BROOOOOOOOOKLYNNNNNN

Well, well, well, I have no idea if anyone is still watching, BUT! I'm back! After a summer of sipping lemonade on the sandy shore of Maryland, I now find myself tucked into the smallest apartment imaginable in Brooklyn, gearing up for another busy semester. So, keep you eyes peeled, ladies and germs, who knows what I'll cook up!



Meanwhile, let me show you my new digs.

i'm not slacking, i pinky swear

Six weeks left of this school year. Hold on, little heart. We'll make it.

These are sort of test shots for a performance/video piece I'm tossing around.

Images taken with my Holga camera. These were all shot back home in Maryland, oh how they make my heart ache!

This is a series I shot over the break for my friend Lindley's project, The Ones We Love. My photos haven't been added to the website yet, but you should go check it out anyway! www.theoneswelove.org

Zach is, and will always be, one of the most important people in my life. No matter what.

i need trees and dirt and open space

I have about 2 more drawings to complete and 1 more critique to go until I can hop on a train back to Mary Land this upcoming Friday. I haven't been feeling so hot lately. I just want my Mommy!









Eeeeesh, not the best pictures.
Here is the finished photo quilt (100% hand stitched!) and my big ol' plaster *cake! Both projects, as well as my Hair video were made for my sculpture class. Critique was last Wednesday, and I'm proud to say that it went super well.

*Note: I showed my cake along side a plate of cookies (on Dora the Explorer plates!!!!!!) mainly because I noticed that the sight of the cake itself made everyone in my class especially hungry/ravenous/sassy. I didn't want to start a riot!

timeline

This is a timeline of self portraits taken from 2004 to the present. Some of these are so melodramatic, it's hilarious. I'm almost embarrassed! Ah, teenage angst.

Looking at these, I can't help but remember the ridiculousness of my high school years. It's funny, now that I have barely any hair, I feel more feminine than ever.

skin hunger

These are two of the three objects I had in the photoFEAST show at Parsons. (Which I would have chickened out on if it weren't for miss Alana Celii, Wonder Woman of the internet and art world) The third object was one of the little "You" books.

The stitched polaroids are sort of a test for a much bigger photo quilt type project I'm about to start working on!
