about

I am a storyteller and a poet.

I use words and thread, pencil and needle, paper and fabric.

my work is an ongoing conversation with myself.

Chasing the perfection of beauty.

May 1, 2018

What happens to a woman

between being born as

perfection,

and spending the rest of her life

peeling away the layers of her body,

and eviscerating her soul

in order to be considered

enough?
