When I was 17, I experienced some trauma that led me to stop speaking. You know, when you tell someone “No,” repeatedly 70+ times in one evening, it is damn hard to ever think your words will matter again.

But words so matter and so do thoughts.

I silenced myself into amnesia, and came back home...

Spent a chunk off time off of this blog. This sad story about sexual assault is something I wrote during my "time-off" of tumblr, if you care to read it...

So you would like me to send something first? What types of things are you interested in?

Lately, I've been making a lot of zines. You can see more of my work at: cococolalala.tumblr.com/archive

Statement of Purpose and Hypothesis

An extended cooperative project at Craft House, unlike a one-time event or exhibition, offers it’s participants the opportunity to more deeply explore the gallery’s location, specifically the Avenue for the Arts corridor on S. Division Avenue. This corridor is home to hundreds of diverse individuals, representing a wide range of experience and circumstance. Home on S. Division Avenue – it’s physical form, it’s emotional memory, and it’s future expectation – is no doubt very different for each of these individuals.

Over the course of the project, the Co-op will examine ideas of home – finding it, losing it, what it means to feel at home, what it consists of, memories of earlier homes and dreams for the future. Each member will begin with self-reflection on home. Secondly, members will exchange their experience of home with one another. Finally, each member will engage at least two neighbors living or working on or near S. Division Avenue to learn about their experiences of home. Members are encouraged to document and/or respond to each step of the project through the media of their choosing. Select works will be exhibited or performed once per month at Craft House.

The Co-op anticipates the project will strengthen our capabilities to listen, learn and respond. Additionally, it will introduce more community members to the possibilities of art making and viewing as means for understanding complex ideas of identity and place.
