yukimi makes me weep

Twice

I've been listening to After the Rain by Little Dragon on KCRW. It's in my aural peripheral, yet very affecting. Finally discovered the name of the vocalist -- Yukimi Nagano. This piano, this voice. It makes me lament for things I don't know...

big chester, little chester

I'm so happy today. Well, for Chester, my guinea pig, most especially. I finally found a young, male pig to adopt as Chester's new companion, and little brother. Turns out his name is Chester, as well.

We lost my girl pig Chichi, Chester's companion, this past July. She lived for 7 years. A long time.. and the best little friend I've known. Really a gentle, loving pig. There's been a little, grey cloud since we lost Chichi, but now it's been lifted with the pending arrival of the little Chester. Anticipation.

Curated by Antoinette Celes, tinyshop is a pop-up shop & art show event to be held at double punch gallery in San Francisco's North Beach district. Fun-spirited folks and magnifying glasses most welcome.

objects & made things

Still life arrangements around my space, coupled with some things I've made.


little elephant made entirely of shells, with the exception of the funny googly-eyes. this piece reminds me of my chi chi guinea pig.


a lot going on here, but somewhat restrained. wood, wool, enamel, palm leaf. the hat is my attempt at weaving. the crocheted skull is something i felt compelled to make.


kokeshi on my mind....


a corner still. ballpoint/painting by mars-1, flyer for andrew schoultz's show at park life gallery, rose mesh sculpture.


an organ garden of mesh shapes. i'm collecting mesh and finding it manipulates beautifully.
