19 yr old from boston. i have an obsession with making things, quantitative measures of my time here on earth. i'm a political person, strong believer that "the political is personal". I am a feminist and libertarian socialist. I am also an atheist, please do not send me any "what would jesus do" bracelets or bible psalms. everything else im cool with! i love traveling more than anything else. I feel best when I am on the road, sleeping in cars or seedy motel rooms, and creating along the way. I've filled many journals with stories and epherma from my travel. I'd be happy to share them with you! I also love making zines. contact me to organize a zine trade!

embroidery. various fiber arts. natural dyeing. bookbinding is my favorite!! ALL PAPER CRAFT BASICALLY. acrylic painting. PRINTMAKING (lino, silkscreen, mono, anything that can make a relief print). collage. recycling, upcycling, or otherwise reusing things that would end up in a landfill. ceramics is my first true love. Im into any kind of 3d media, objects as art, making things for people to hold and keep, things that are real and reproduce-able, things that can never be produced again. conceptual and/or feminist art is my thing. hit me up for colabs.

PAPER FROM YOUR LIFE. EPHERMA EPHERMA EPHERMA. im obsessed. clean off your desk/clean out your bag and send me the paper trash and I will be thrilled. I'm interested in paper reminders of your life. no need to spend any money. I am especially interested in epherma from other countries. transit tickets, shopping bags, receipts, empty packaging (i fucking love empty packaging), basically whatever. i also love ribbons, vintage fabrics, ric rac, handkerchiefs, tea towels, whatever. AND SEND ME UR ZINES!!
