All Summers in a Day
infinitely waiting
for something I’m not even sure of anymore
time feels like its been moving so fast lately, while everything else stands still
we crossed the mason dixon line and started to see trees with red-tipped leaves
the water was warm but the breeze made me shiver
everything has been on hold for two birthdays now
two years spent hiding underground
at the drive-in I watched a movie about a whole lifetime passing in one afternoon
this is the first birthday I can recall where I’ve been asked how I feel about it, if I’m okay
So much of my art practice, especially lately, has been centered around archiving. It feels so urgent to perfect and publish all of the work I’ve done; everything I’ve written and photographed. It’s hard to discern how much to share and what to exclude and sometimes, I try and reimagine an entire project. I’m working towards publishing collections of it all- getting to a place where I feel like I’m satisfied with where it exists in the world.
I’m always so humbled by how much going through my old work inspires new work too. It feels cyclical and affirming. I’ve made more progress on my website, mostly just my work thats been most popular and some professional portfolio work. I’ve also been working on shooting more black and white film and more self-portraiture work as well as some digital collage stuff. These letters have been an really nice way for me to dive back into making collaged pieces and I’m excited to see where they take me.
