vermont to san francisco.
august 2008
this was our airplane breakfast flying from vermont to san francisco. looks pretty yummy for airplane food, no ? well it was. we were lucky enough to fly first class, where they treat you like real people rather than cattle.

fresno, california
october 2009
i was born and raised in fresno and we still have the same house that we moved into when i was 6. i often take piles of clothes + shoes home that i don’t really want to “get rid” of, but don’t want in my closet here. also, when i go home for a visit, i don’t have to pack much. i found these shoes in my fresno closet that look much better on PAPER than they ever did ON !

. . . AND CARRY ON.
’tis the season to be swamped. i have spread myself rather thin this season and it feels like the month of december is already over. every second is BOOKED with shows and parties and open studios and projects, etc . . . and being elbow deep in clay all the while.

i have a collection of old mason jars. i am besotted with their cool shades of green + blue. they remind me of classic sea glass . . . which reminds me of the sea . . . which brings me to such a serene and tranquil place, just by looking at them.

baja, california
1994
i love spaces between the teeth. it adds so much character and intrigue to a face. i befriended this little girl, daphne, on the beach in baja. she would stand so close to me that all i could focus on were the spaces between her teeth. she was a sweet little girl with a big beautiful smile.

berkeley, california
i grew up in a chinese restaurant and there was always a giant tin of fortune cookies there. this shape is so familiar and comforting to me. and i loved the idea of the hidden message inside. like secret words from far beyond that would somehow make your life better.
a fortune + a cookie = the perfect food
