The Beginning...

Here we are! Another new thing. I've decided to start writing more and to add a blog feature to the website. Why? My mind is reeling with new information and new understandings at an almost incessant rate.. I am constantly wanting to explore new frontiers and dive to the deepest depths of whatever I can obsess over in any given moment. I feel like I'm crazy half the time. And I want to let you in on it.

You've probably follow me for my light sculptures and my product design. Surprise! There's a whole ass person behind those objects. I hope you'll stick around for the ride. A lot of what I'll write about here will be focussed on art, design, and creativity. But I'm going to deviate as well! I will make some lateral moves into psychology, sociology, and what it means to be human. All of this plus my usual sprinkling of self reflection and critical analyzes. SEO loves me (not), if you know what I mean. Ah, to be human!

Let me first start out by saying, I'm fuckin scared. Writing can feel intimate in a way that makes me want to run and hide. I can get hyper critical of my writing skills and even my intelligence or relevancy. I look at myself reeeeeeal hard when it comes down to words and my ability to communicate myself with skill and integrity. Don't get me wrong, when I catch a stride and feel like I'm in my writing zone, I can feel like an outright genius. But when I don't? Garbage. Smelly, stinky, uninteresting, noisy garbage. But here I am, wanting to explore this medium and expose myself and my world this way. What is it about being naked I love so much?

I hope to use this blog as a medium to help facilitate my findings on personal research projects I find compelling. I want to make use of this hungry mind of mine and share it with y'all. We'll dive into creativity, psychology, and personal reflection with vigor! Stay tuned and bear with me as I grow into a focused little expressive researcher. Should be quite the journey!
