Artist's Comments

i am at a point in my young life where i am searching for little more than motivation: a jumpstart to make something of myself. i need motivation to clean house, i need motivation to get in shape, i need motivation....to create art, the one thing that really keeps me going. gas on a lit match.

i am numb, i am stupefied... but not really. i ask my mind why i let myself be thrown into a pit of lethargy and slow-motion decay when I am young, strong, and restless with a mind to put my anxiety at ease. If I can get my life in order, I will be the image of efficiency.

what does this all mean? why do you care? why should you care? don't, its actually rather irrelevant, im just another silly young girl finding herself, talking in circles like a bloody salesperson. most sales of the month; highest level of denial.

self portrait/august 2004/at the height of my fever from last week. i was never one to stay in bed when i actually have to.
thank you and look forward to this in newblood as it is actually kicking itself into motion.

I like the lighting - bringing out the auburn(?) highlights in your hair, the deep green of your dress and a touch of pink on your full lips. The ruffled hair and half-hidden face add intrigue. I wouldn't have guessed that you were feverish when this was taken, though your look is possibly a bit disconnected :)

Have you ever looked at your hand as a collection of atoms?

marcy, its really weird, just last night, a quote was said to me in my dream over and over, it kept saying "you never find love because you try to hard to define it" , t'was really scary. ;)

I hate the way I look when I'm ill
I always feel that I look sooo bad (not that I look better when I'm not ill)
but as for you, you're on the peak of your fever, so for sure you're ill as hell and I dunno, I find that there's something mysterious in your expression, the way you look, the eye
maybe it's the darker shade part of your right side that does it, or maybe it's the numb stare but I can't help staring at you the whole time.
girl you need some sleep ;)
