THE INNOCENCE AND THE ORIGINAL SIN, 2022
on a skateboard, astroturf, heartache shape before you’d even heard the phrase, “mircoagression” love, forgiveness is accepting that there’s nothing that you can do to make the past different so if you stop trying you will feel a sense of relief that is an entering into deeper freedom— all of which can feel in the body like FLIGHT, porcelain figurines, 100% cotton, love, joy in recognizing your own shapes, a mirror cuz you still got to watch yo back, capadimonte chandelier, bells with the names and flowers of american states, remembering Uvalde, beads, buttons, cowrie shells, power in the palms of your own hands, cowboy boots, paint, love, love, love, epoxy, for how it is to be told who you are and where you will go and knowing the whole time that you’ve got options and a thing that feels like a loose river of fire in the center of your heart.
