I am a Queens-based visual artist, occasional writer, and textile lover. I’ve designed this website using very limited coding skills. I prefer the voice of an awkward HTML line to a templated web page with sound graphic design. There’s nothing wrong with templates, but I’ve outgrown their shape.

In Laurel Schwulst's essay My website is a shifting house next to a river of knowledge. What could yours be? (quoted above) She imagines a website as a house, a cloud, or a garden — something alive. Not a storefront. Not a resume. Reading this, I felt the pressure of making a perfectly self-representative site lift a little. What I want is always changing. I give myself permission to play.
