Lately, I've been preoccupied making video for a friend's upcoming live shows. Because sometimes you need more than one form of making things to function as a sort of being in the world, but tempered through some other medium, aside from you and your body, lest it get too close. The world, that is.

Spring equinox:
First flowers of the year, snowdrop and crocus. Distant, cold scent like snowmelt and obscured sunlight, poisonous and heady
