welcome back to meeee

Hello

its been quite a while since I’ve used this space. After spending the last several years dealing with some severe mental health issues, realizing my trans identity, and dealing with substance issues, and then finally in the last two years starting my transition and getting sober, I finally feel ready to start using this space as it was meant to be used.

It can be scary, honestly, to come back to something that is so important to you after time off, especially extended time off, as needed as it was. I don’t necessarily know what the next step in my artistic practice will be or where it will take me, but I look forward to finding out.

Anyway, I finally started unpacking my pieces in the new studio space and found this one that I honestly don’t really remember making but that I am truly obsessed with. It’s from the last woodfiring I did, in upstate New York in 2022.

anyway, I’ll be updating the website thoroughly soon so keep an eye out, lots of new and old work gonna be dropping (primarily ceramics as that seems to be the only part of my practice I have managed to stick with throughout the chaos of the last 4 or so years).
