About Me

I feel absolutely crazy - sitting here - writing this - doing this - because I am no-one - just an average girl, in a big huge, scary world trying to desperately find my way because I am so lost and I am so overwhelmed. My life on paper is an absolute car crash - no-one would want to buy it. Im navigating a divorce, and I need to buy myself out of my old life. I so desperately want a clean slate. 

I have gotten to this point in life where I have just lived compliantly. Almost obediently. And it hasn't served me - in fact the opposite is true. I feel more trapped and lost with so much that it has forced me to be wild, to be feral, to be...... Brave. 

I watch all these incredible humans out there - achieving great things, being brilliant people and I feel so fucking far away from that. From ever achieving anything. I feel like such a gigantic loser. And I don't want to be that. I want to be a good human - who contributes to the lives of people in a magical way. 

I lie in bed and think up all these ideas, things I could do, ways I could buy myself out of my old life, start a fresh, be in peace, be happy. Be free. And this idea stuck. It's mental really. The fact that I can even consider trying such a thing because women 40 years ago - probably wouldn't / couldn't. Not in the same way. I write this not expecting anyone to even see this, I feel safer hidden away. It's my comfort zone. So doing this. Trying this is scary but it's fun. Im putting my whole heart into it.

Every piece is dedicated to an incredible woman. Some I know immediately in my life and others who I watch and learn from - from afar. A tiny grain of sand in their sparkling worlds. I love how humans teach each other, how we connect with others in unique ways. How one person can in one moment say something or show you something from a completely different perspective And your world - stops. Because it hits different. It shapes you. It moulds you into the version you of you that you are destined to become.

I think that is magical. Its special. So - I am using this project as a way of projecting love, gratitude and thanks out to each of those incredible women and their tribes.

It often strikes me that we very rarely take a moment to really think about the uniqueness and brilliance of others and what they bring to your life. Whether they know you or not and I think it's a shame. 

The world needs love. I have no idea why I have been blessed with a life on this incredible planet, im pretty useless at everything, the only thing I am exceptional at is causing chaos and disasters. Fucking things up. Including my life. But, as an evangelical learner, I am committed to trying, to changing, to being better. I appreciate I have a very long way to go but - Rome wasn't built in a day. 

I am sending this out into the world with pure joy and rawness that I have the ability to try. To do something wild and crazy. To have fun. To play. To be a girl and make things with love in a meaningful way. 

Symbolism is really important to my soul, I love to find meaning in things, I love for there to be depth and thoughtfulness and I love things to be cool and quirky. And most definitely pretty. 

In my wildest desires, each piece will sell and they will sell to people who feel emotional alignment to what that piece represents and stands for. That each piece will brighten a wall and be the reason conversations happen that happen, the reason that thoughts evolve, progress, that consideration happens. That is what I would love. and the money will help to cut me free from the chains of my old life.

To all those who have helped me, shaped me, loved me, tolerated me, given me chances and opportunities, I dont deserve you. You are amazing. And you will live forever in my heart. 

With peace and love, and hope.
