We Never Did Things As

Sadness Is A Super Important Thing Not To Be Ashamed About But To Include In Our Lives. One Of The Bigger Problems With Sadness Or Depression Is There's So Much Shame Around It. If You Have It You're A Failure. You Are Felt As Being Very Unattractive.

I Was So Happy With My Bow Ties From The Last Kickstarted Project That I'm Back For More.

As Someone Who Grew Up In A House Where There Wasn't A Lot Of Talking, I'm Used To Just Looking At The World. And In General I Often Feel Like I Just Don't Understand What's Happening. That Everybody Else Does, But I Don't Quite Get It.

L.a. Is So Isolated And Unhip In A Way; It Gives You Room To Figure Out Who You Are And Explore More Personal Stuff.

I Would Hate To Think I'm Promoting Sadness As An Aesthetic. But I Grew Up In Not Just A Family But A Town And A Culture Where Sadness Is Something You're Taught To Feel Shame About. You End Up Chronically Desiring What Can Be A Very Sentimental Idea Of Love And Connection. A Lot Of My Work Has Been About Trying To Make A Space For Sadness.
