💃 Somedays I feel like I make hanging on by your fingernails look good.
🤡Other days I feel like a goblin in my attic rolling around in paper, glue, thread and paint.
😴But every day, I'm tired.
😎And I'll be okay.

The one that started it all. Shortly after we moved here in 2019, a widow up the street was foreclosed on by the bank. The house stands empty to this day. Enough basic maintenance is done by the bank to keep it standing, but no human, no family, no friends, no pets, no one has lived and loved in this house. The loneliness of it, as well as the potential fulfillment of it intrigued me. I had the idea for this 24 minis series and took this first photo in 2022 or 2023, but it took me until this year to get up the gumption to put the whole collection together. I'm really glad I did, and i'm so grateful for Ernesto Camacho and Manos Gallery for creating and hosting such a powerful challenge for artists.

Joy will never be contained by the old ways of being. Those legalistic frames will rust and explode when new life expands and grows. Love will spill out of every crack and crevice. Soft, bubbling, twirling, and strong. Don't even try to stop it.
