*BIG DEVIATION IS BIG* Download recommended.
This is still a work in progress.
This is a book I made in response to whats happening in my life right now. The media is 60lb drawing paper and Starbucks coffee. I hand sewn the book. It's original design ran 24 pages, but I cut it down to 12ish.
*Arts Statement*
A basic explanation is that I find myself having some of the hardest conversations of my life in Starbucks coffee shops. It's played some sort of 'middle ground' role in my life for years.
A close friend told me about his past, I tried to tell my mother I was gay, I rekindled a friendship after five years, I went on dates with a boy I had no intention of having a relationship with, I had my first intense thoughts about suicide, and I realized I was holding on to a one sided friendship that for some reason I couldn't let go of.
(I don't even need to name names. It's obvious.)
You know when you spill a little, it wares away on it's own? I think of these conversations like one spill after another. I let it soak through the layers, like the progression of a bruise.
This work is representational of acceptance. It's about the process of grief and healing. It helped me heal. A lot.

Ahhh, excuse me as I creep through your gallery >u> I just really wanted to give this one a second piece. I always love hearing you talk about your concepts for your works, but this one especially really speaks to me ;u; It's one of my favorite works from you yet~
