from east to west // spring updates

I thank everyone for their patience as all the lives I’ve lived in New York are slowly shedding, becoming enmeshed with my time on the road with my partner. As we travel and stop in dinky motels, where the light outside flickers on and off in that kind of light that somehow dims instead of illuminates, where everything is coated in a smell of stale cigarettes, and we have to use the obscenely bleached towels as slippers, to shuffle around the floors. While along the way, we find ourselves in homes made into spheres, that overlook sleepy volcanoes, re-erupting to fill the dikes with their magma.
We’re in the last few days of this massive move and I’m looking forward to being and working with y’all in Cali!
I’ll be keeping this update short and sweet since my time to write has been capped by all the movement :)
