I woke up one day, and it was 5 weeks later. I devolved quickly into psychosis, unable to remember my lost time until people told me what I did. I attacked my husband, then an officer, I was violent, uncontrollable so they put me in solitary on suicide watch. I spent eleven days neglected until the right people returned from the holidays to get me treatment. Languishing alone in a cell without treatment, I got much worse. I didn’t sleep for fourteen days. I didn’t eat and rar

I believe: Beauty heals. Places remember. Communities can become living works of art. Forgotten histories deserve to be heard. Creativity is one of humanity's oldest technologies for remembering who we are. In these pages I will talk openly about ideas I have and, if they resonate with you, perhaps we can collaborate, or support can be offered to help bring these ideas and projects to life.

We are transitioning into the higher, and lighter densities. We are also currently in a collective tower moment, and we, unfortunately, are walking moldavite and born of blood and fire that catalyzes. This is why sometimes in our firm challenges to you, we are only welcome in small doses. So try and kee

It’s not every day that a local arts magazine captures your attention and then invites you inside its pages. Many times, the best art is born in the cracks — in warehouse spaces, late-night conversations, handmade books, and zines passed hand to hand.
