Adaptation

Desert Door

I drew this image after seeing a photograph of an old ruin in the Egyptian desert. I plan to hopefully find that place sometimes and maybe photograph it. I really like doorways or windows. It always makes me think of spaces and the objects that separate them. In this case it was a door that separated that same space. and I like that you can walk through it or simply walk around it. When I see a door in the middle of nowhere I think of a purpose it possesses. If it is not separating two different spaces, then I assume that there is more meaning behind it, or that something might happen if I walked through it. Making it a mystifying place to stand in. (A portal)

Cat Wait

An old drawing on my bag that will soon be embroidered ... eeek

Phantoms at the Edge of my Bed


Just a draft coming through my window
sleepy-covers weighing down my bed
silly phantoms at the edges
hear voices in my head

let me breathe coz I cant tell you
I can't see it anymore
If I hear you calling on me
see me running for the door

Silly phantoms at the edges
of my bed and on the floor
If you force me to roll over
I can't see you anymore

sticky fingers on my pillows
poor zacky's there no more
there's a budgie dinosaur
and he is tapping at my door

Silly phantoms at the edges
of my bed and on the floor
If you force me to roll over
I can't see you anymore


Sleep paralysis

Last night I had multiple episodes of what I interpreted as sleep paralysis. When I was a kid I had a really scary one while sleeping on a couch in the living room. I felt like I was hovering over my body looking down at it. I can see my legs and arms but couldn't move them. There was a chill moving down my spine and my whole body and I was unable to move. I interpreted it as a form of outer body experience at the time. right now Im not sure but all I know is it was terrifying. I was trying to scream but couldn't. I tried to roll myself out of bed to wake myself up last night. I felt a strange presence of ghosts who were watching me and keeping me in a state of paralysis. I would eventually wake up and still be in the same room. Id go back to bed and have the same experience. this happened around 8 times last night.

this again

so I haven't shot the balloon image part yet. this is all constructed but I guess id like to take another look a the arraignment of balloons. this week ill be setting off a few hundred of these on my roof to photograph them but will be still holding them down with fish wire (don't want any birdies to die) I wonder how birds die from balloons. or whales?.
it seems excessive. they just balloons but I guess that makes sense.
Im excited to see them all in the sky. soon. any one wanna help out by the way???

I wish I can wake up one day and say that im not gonna participate in anything today. and just lay there. as a thing or an object. like a piece of furniture. occupying little space. not moving. and just being. no doing. like a paper weight

Remoteness

I needed a bed picture other than my snow on roof one coz i was applying to this competition. I hope i get something. Im not even sure what's in the money pot. I like the idea of furniture feeling human emotions. in this one is more of a lack of communication, remoteness and solitude. that beds pretty lonely.

sulk

I took this towards the end of me living in the dorm in 2007. It wasn't as much about sulking then leaving a whole experience behind. it was one of those images that i am not able to fit as part of anything but that moment. and talks about me being. simply exisiting in that moment...

old friends I never see

I believe this was taken around 2006. 

flags

Upon waking up one day, I found myself in my parents house bedroom. I have forgotten i got there. I left the house to look out side and the ground was covered with these colorful flags.. they seemed like something out of a  sci-fi movie. I took a video of the man holding strange machinery and walking around poking flags in the ground. (this image is incomplete and unedited) 
a lot of strange things happen in suburbia. 

educational birds


I dreamt of birds that live inside books. U pick one up from the library. and it will eat your words for you... 

window

this is my bedroom window in romania. Its my favorite place to spend when I visit my grandparents. they have this tiny room on their second floor next to the attic. very isolated but calm and i can spend hours reading or thinking. I always see myself as an old retired person spending time in that room. 

snow on roof

 Woke up one day and went on the roof for a cigarette. I found the roof filled with these spots on the ground... no idea how it happened 

My grandma's kitchen
