🧶 ONGOING PROJECTS in the YRSIVERSE 🧶
Lil LETTER
Digital dispatches sent very occasionally. Essays, lists, middle-of-the-night feelings, and other somethings. Initially active from 2015-2017, and resurrected in 2022.
TExting myself
An ongoing series of live performance pieces where I read my unedited phone notes. My aim is to resist the sometimes overly pious inclination of poetry readings, to practice taking myself less seriously, and unlearning the instinct of perfectionism. It is always semi-improvisational, and mega-embarrassing.
MONTHLY MAGPIEING
Seconds-long videos recorded every day, then knit together in a monthly review. Named for the magpie’s penchant for collecting shiny strangenesses to build their nests—here are all of the cool shells, weird pebbles, and bits of trash I store away in my phone-brain-pockets for safekeeping.
MOON SPANKBANK
An ongoing archive of (sometimes shitty) photos of the moon—our best gal, illusive and near-impossible to photograph well. All moons are good moons. Co-run with my fellow moon hoe, Hector Ornelas.
YRS
Wearable squiggles n’ shapes. A vehicle for tactile meditations, pursuit of Black joy and self-care work, and, most simply, an outlet to make cool shit I get a kick out of. Launched in September 2020 as a COVID-19 lockdown hobby gone a biiiiit too far.
