Automediality is a key component of my artistic practice.

Automediality is a form of autobiography through media,

in real time, shaped by the media outlets utilized

this journal is one of my media outlets

please see the Automediality & Me page for more information

thank you for following along with me on my journey

follow me

there is a happy ending 

to every day

 it's time for her to move to where 

her desires can be fulfilled

where her inner light can shine

where she can become the one

she had always dreamed of being

to the place of happy endings

they brought me to where I am now

 

loving freely

 I never regret feeling my feelings

somebody told me 

I understand the forest behind the trees

metamorphosis of the heart

broken pieces encased in a pupa

on a hammock of silk

resting

in the breeze

entwined within itself

feeling 

until the emotion became

joy

and burst forth

anew

healed 

skipping and sparkling

like the sun

over water

if light is in your heart

you will find your way home

by me

under the sliver

of a silvery moon

I love you

my friends are visiting this week

from Miami and NYC

so fun to have guests

and to show them the LA that I love

It will be all right

Everything

I love you

good night

tonight's moon

always

what if

ready for a roadtrip!

I decided to put the wooden table and chairs out yesterday

so we would be able to eat outside on the roof deck

thinking, it will be all right, it never rains in LA

ha ha, it poured this morning!

everything

"instead of the break "…diminishing [the bowl's] appeal, a new sense of its vitality and resilience raised appreciation to even greater heights." The bowl has become more beautiful for having been broken. The true life of the bowl "…began the moment it was dropped…"

"So it is not simply any mended object  that increases in its appreciation but…the gap between the vanity of pristine appearance and the fractured manifestation of mortal fate which deepens its appeal."

In other words, the proof of of its fragility and its resilience is what makes it beautiful."

tonight's sunset

I guess it's good that I have 

concrete feet

else I might get caught

in the whirlwind

Julien MacDonald, Spring 2018

I will take one please

I am grateful to my heart

for reminding me

of the knowingness that all that is happening

is for a reason

and that all I have to do is keep going 

to the point

where my perspective is looking at this as the past

and saying

"now I see 

I would not be where I am 

if I hadn't gone through 

what I went through"

I am grateful for the strength of my body

to withstand the stresses that am I going through
even as a little girl
my physical strength was out of proportion
to my size and appearance
I think it's because I am Greek

still slogging through the swampland
of the vortex

with concrete feet
the pressure remains extremely intense
but the knots are slowly unraveling
day by day

every last one

I am here

 

I love you just the way you are

good night

sweet dreams

the adventure begins

train travel in the 1800s

looks snug and cozy

I font you

you're my type

I have not been able to get this photograph out of my mind!  

The hair by Nicolas Jurnjack just blows me away-

the way it is styled blends seamlessly with the Louis Feraud Haute Couture gown 

worn by Ling Tan while at the same time having so much presence.  

Breathtaking!

helping her with a new piece

the strength of her belief in him

the strength of her love for him

the strength of her understanding of him

the strength of her femininity

I am here
I have never abandoned you
