CURRENT PROJECTs
hope·less se·man·tic
I have always loved words and the subtext that is found within them. How a single word and its definition can symbolize an entire story — fiction, non-fiction, the spaces between. How even the smallest of words reflect the narratives we are living, or want to live, or are witnessing around us, every day
”Hopeless Romantic" refers to a person who has romantic notions about life; a person in love with love. I am a "Hopeless Semantic" - a person who carries semantic notions about life. A person in love with the interpretation of words and signs, and the search for meaning in the language we use with each other.
This project is an experiment in call and response. A curation of words and signs as they organically enter my atmosphere. A constellation of stories inspired by their true definitions, and deeper intentions.

ALL THE MORE REASON:
A MEMOIR
A study of choices, sequences and consequences. Of happenstance that created happiness and heartbreak. Of love and empathy and compassion for anyone – and any body – but self. Of profound tragedy, unexpected loss, and grief that has become second skin. Of intoxication and, now, sobriety. Of forgiveness and letting go.
More info coming soon.
