I am 25 and I live in NYC, but I grew up chasing tumbleweeds and hornytoads in New Mexico. I write things for a living, for now. I like the arts, photographs, old movies, the web, and the city, and tend to wonder how each influences the other. I thought this might be a good place to collect a few of the million images, sounds and ideas I get distracted by every day--sentimental though they may be. Welcome to my corner.
And if you just want to say hi, please do. I write back.

Grow up, 2008

I am also crazy about Ella’s work today—she takes puffy kindergarten letters and tosses them up in banal public places to create charged phrases (“immense pain,” “i exist,” “protect myself”); snapping the contrast between our Sesame Street associations and what the words really say. Emin’s patchwork tent, 2.0.
Anyway, I like this one. Grow up. Grow up. Say that on repeat.
