I will never forget Seanbraighe. Was working on a Queer Cannabis farm, making photographs. Was a work of long days, sometimes 12 hours though on this farm that was not common.
Trimmers would shuffle into breakfast, drink coffee, some would smoke their spliff or joint, and Seanbraighe would get a new look for the day.
.
Offseason, I got a little locker at the #Rayko Center ( will forever be so grateful for @ann_jastrab ). I got a pack of analog color paper to try and print in color for the first time since college. I believe the machine was called a Colex. It was expensive.
.
So expensive I saved the test strips. I have always felt precious about trash and discarded objects so I saved the test strips and made collages out of them. Seanbraighe was the most beautiful of these.

Such a cool workshop making chemigrams with @agatetuna at work today. I’ve been looking for a particular form lately, looking forward in drawing, looking for it in sculpture, and had completely overlooked the medium. I am most familiar with. Thank you.@cm0lina for organizing this and thank you agate for your artist talk and workshop.

If I could summarize what the United Astrology Conference felt like this year it would maybe be this.
.
Tonight, this image is everything the Dark moon has gathered in its final quarter multiplied by the Mercury and Venus retrograde coming up. They both stand tonight at 0 degrees, the threshold of the house that aforementioned retrograde shall proceed within. As this New Moon begins conjunct my Natal Moon, I feel so excited to be here and be of assistance.
.
May this one bring you clarity, gratitude and purpose.

This image was from the beginning of my Fools Journey at the Very Large Array in 2002. I made a pilgrimage as soon as I could. The only place I knew for sure I wanted to go was the VLA. The drawing, the Fool.

Throwback to 2015. Glitched. Intervention.

At the onset of a beautiful month this past May, a plant told me we were going to dissolve the structure in my system called Anger. I saw humans as ecosystems, etheric and otherwise. Similar to my understanding of I Ching and the Chinese philosophical systems it is informed by. That things like Anger can be like aphids on your inner rose garden

The brain cleaner of excessive screen time has been drawing with color pencil, meaningful things. The hand is connected to a quantum computational hyperobject - the “brain” / consciousness, and the more I use my hands to render an internal experience, subtle information visible, the better.

I’ve been unsure of how to engage with Instagram since the pandemic, besides the obvious scrolling. As a professional artist there is this pressure to professionalize every freaking aspect of your life. Though I’ve watched again and again as professional standards, catch up to the unprofessional behavior of 10 years ago. For me, this reaffirms that Art does in fact come from the future. It also affirms to me, that if it isn’t enjoyable or fun, then it’s not really the energy I want to offer the world right now or cultivate in my daily life, at least not with this data-mine. I still make Art, I still write, and I’m in a semi-constant state of making music however I have absolutely no desire, and I mean it is like literally a negative number, to share it on Instagram. It stresses me out, it activates a latent perfectionism when I look at my grid and feel like the aesthetic sudoku is off for whatever reason, for oscillating reasons, depending on the day, my mood, the stars. So I’d like to return to my roots, and just play around. I don’t know why it’s important to say this publicly, but I think due to the public facing nature of the platform, statements such as this have a recursive effect on the person posting which I would like to use to my benefit. In the meantime, this feels in my heart in someway like it is an emergence recalibration. A promise to my creativity that ill get out of the way.

Bless all eyes and sentient beings that connect to this, may our phones find other other places to be besides in our eyes.

My first love was music. Growing up I wanted to make Björk videos, though couldnt rationalize or figure out how to go to school for such a thing. I also had a hard time tearing myself away from the natural world, whoch video editong required.
.
In my twenties I recorded an album for my Saturn Return. As Saturn concluded its time in Pisces, and moved into my 9th house, I am again excited to release music Ive been slowly making for the last 5 years.
.
Accidental Dignity is available as an EP on my bandcamp. You can also find it on Crescent City Sounds.
.
I am so grateful for sound, and for the ability to make music and to finally make music videos.
.
Like and share. ✨🛸❤️‍🔥

Her name was Joan Quigley, originally from San Francisco, and she was deeply embedded in the timing of literally everything for the Reagan administration. This is useful, because we can reverse engineer these associations, and see moments in time where the paradigm is vulnerable. DM or comment an emoji if you want more info.

It is my supremest excitement to present this workshop to you in partnership with The League of Stars ( @theleagueofstars ). The first public workshop on the astrological hours I ever taught was while a participant in the League’s Greek Residency, during Saturns first pass into Aries. The 13th will be its final day in Pisces for the next 27 years.
.
The Astrological Hours are one of my favorite connection points to the stars. I notice that they act as synchronicity accelerators. This workshop will be two part. You can come along for one or both. They will be IG Lives.
.
Friday the 13th
9:30 AM CST
Bring any or all of these:
A pinch of salt
About a half cup of water in any glass
Pencil
Paper
.
Feb 14
Saturns First Day in Aries
