Modeling // Desert
I went to the desert with other feral women to heal my heart.We spent our days half naked creating, as it was what felt most natural. We'd open up about the tough things we had been holding onto and laugh about them. We'd massage each other's shoulders, make food together. I forgot what it was like to be tended to like this-- women with other women.In the past, and still, it has been d...
the process 3; The Creative Act: My Review
I have trouble with this book every time I open it.I am most affected and pleased by how wonderfully it was designed, presented, and marketed.It is a lesson to me in regards to business, selling, and knowing the target market.It is a lesson to me in knowing what works for me and what does not.I sensed that perhaps there was a ghostwriter writing this as he spoke on his understandings of creativity...
december xoxo
I’ve been feeling a kind of psychic block around sharing certain parts of myself and what I think, and I think what that has done was create a very intense smallness of expression that has leaked into everything else.I could be being dramatic?, overthinking?. I just smoked a little weed, and usually when I smoke after not having done it for awhile, a lot of little revelations about my behaviors ...
Self Portraits - In Studio
I was invited to an unused studio space the other day and got to play around with LED lights and huge empty spaces!That day I had received a message that was difficult, so I used this fortunate opportunity to play with my body and try to represent the blurriness of the realities I was facing.There were two panels of changing LED lights— one in front of me, and the other off to my far left. I set...
the process 2
Hey Legends. The past four weeks have rocked me hard. I have about as much energy to simply process on camera. I hope this will suffice for now-- but know that there is SO MUCH being made and I will share it as I feel more balanced and able.Last month I began my album making efforts with my lovely producer and he and I make such a good team that I have no fear around making this music. The music a...

Camcorder Self Portrait BTS
Hellooo legends!I've switched my account to 18+ and am now sharing my (nsfw) BTS footage from my photo shoots.I used my Pentax 645 and Ilford DELTA 3200 film. I love Ilford because of the contrast it gives, and how black the blacks are.I used my air-shutter release cable to take these photos. Sometimes I took a series straight (the film automatically advances), and sometimes I set the self tim...

Legends!Do you remember when I was booked for a gig in upstate New York, and my role was to play a woman suffering with schizophrenia ? Well, the film, MOTEL, is out.The location.Eric Ogden, writer and director.I loved this project, and learned a lot about myself while on set. It was a complicated role, and I was able to connect with a high school classmate who has it in order to empathize with th...
Polaroid Transfer
Legends!If you have been following along on my instagram, you'll notice that I started making Polaroid transfers!I had seen this process online and had been quite enticed about it.

Unusual - A Murder Short
Hey Legends!I've been head down, busy as a bee!Last month I was hired by advertising agency Unusual to film their company off-site group-bonding project. Their goal was to create a two-page script on day one, and on day two I would come and film.What ended up happening is that they played the board came Chameleon all day, got too tired to write a script, and decided to give me the prompt "...
