Wind passed through a tattered skirt fumbling at the warehouse-art-studio’s gate. I was sitting on a cracked plastic lawn chair smokin a bowl of pot, waiting for the key to turn. I saw faint stick-n-poke tattoos grabbing for the difficult-as-hell lock and wondered if this was someone new moving in. Most of the humans renting studios had been there for years, forever wandering the cubicles, never seeming to know what the next step to take should be. I had only been there for a handful of months, but I never noticed this person walking through. They piqued my interest. Faded green hair with dark roots, and a hole-filled, black skirt that I could tell was altered to be perfectly spooky. After hours of conversation about creativity, travel and simpler things that are much greater than us, I recognized Brisita as an inspiration.

Dew drops on the tips of winter tree branches. In the sunlight, they are glowing with fiery light,
illuminating the dead bare grey trees. A place between light and dark.

First and foremost, I am and have always been a hustler. 

That being said, I have the ability to wear many masks and fulfill many archetypes. I’ve had really fancy assistant jobs wearing a two-piece suit to farming for months and recycling all of our “trash” into technology (very messy work). But whether I’m wearing heels or homeless, playing music for money just to eat, I’m still the same person and it makes me feel like I don’t fit in anywhere. Because I don’t identify completely with any specific lifestyle, different moments call for different roles. I like to remain open to accessing different parts of myself and embrace my experiences to allow me to change instead of hold me back by conforming to some sort of standard.

Describe your approach
to preparing for a project:

“sex and dreams and nature“

With clothing, I aim to interpret what I see as feminine and like to represent the dirty goddess. The sacred whore hag within us all. I personally wish I could use spider webs as a medium so I infuse the suggestion of spider webs in each of my pieces.

All my fabric is recycled from free piles on the street or from thrift stores and it is all very special. I have a very special connection to the gutter mother who leaves me all I need.

I’ve often thought about the idea like what if making art was punishable by death or life in prison. And being an artist at all was a complete rebellion, than only the true artists would take that chance. Art would be at its most useful then. I think it’s good to push those boundaries because art is an act of chaos and cannot be tamed by laws of men.

TOLERANCE of diversity is the only way. Apathy and empathy at the same time.

What’s a mandatory lesson learned from a past hustle of yours?

Make sure you’re working with something that you have an abundance of
–that doesn’t demand someone else to slave away at.

In 1 or 2 sentences, where are you now?

Lost. Getting lost forever is all that life is and will ever be.
