papercuts

paper and x-acto knives, oh how i love you.  it started with stencilling in middle school, and has more recently evolved to paper cutouts.  here's what I came up with for my sister's bridal gift.

my first large-scale cutout-- a success!
lyrics from a favorite song, and a whole lot of strain on my fingers (my index finger was numb for two weeks after I finished, meep!).









finished, framed, and gifted!

thursday night get in there pep talk

"you're a fucking champion
always believe that in your cells, dude, in your cells"

"i was trying to reconcile an ambivalent relationship to being here on earth because earth is a difficult place to be sometimes.

...

i have to learn to be here.

...

it was like me saying, i'm sitting on the fence, i have to make some decision about being here."
