The Journey in Real(er) Time

'it's a mystery to me we have a greed with which we have agreed you think you have to want more than you need until you have it all, you won't be free society, you're a crazy breed i hope you're not lonely without me' #intothewild #seeyouontheotherside
silence slowness stillness acceptance + expansion inside this #greaterLove
when did i start taking myself so fucking seriously 💎💎💎 #lovethyself #treehaus_life
i'm sitting here in @jamaicaartscenter after finishing my install. everytime i do something like this it's a breathless experiment, a grand free-fall, an exercise in trust. an affirmation of my own voice, my art, my journey, my way of expression. there is so much pain in these realities but creation is the way of liberation. // i feel so proud that i didn't let any of this kill me. i remember as i was packing my boxes to leave my last partner's house everything seemed like a cruel tragicomedy. cried so much, raged so much. laughed at the seeming futility of it all. i literally said to him-- i'm gonna do an installation about this. and use these exact boxes. // and now here we are. the southeast queens biennial opens feb 14 + runs thru april 17 ❤️ i want to give a huge shout to @mrvendryes for being so supportive + flexible thru this process. one of my favorite things about being in this show is getting to know you + YOUR journey 💕 #southeastqueensbiennial #writinghome #itsinqueens #artsaves
i will never stop transforming my pain into art. never ever ever. ❤️❤️❤️ my installations at york college + @jamaicaartscenter open feb 14 as part of the southeast queens biennial 2020! #itsinqueens #acheintoart #southeastqueensbiennial #transcendence #writinghome
st joan of arc in the bathroom mirror 🔥 ... whilst listening to 'simple kind of life' @nodoubt 🙏 man it feels different listening to this when you're 33 ❤️💔 #woof #gratefulforthejourney 💍 #forgiveness #treehaus_life #growingup 🌱 here i am ❤️❤️❤️
sometimes it takes years but you'll find Her if you don't stop trying 🔥⚡❤️💥 #rocksteady #treehaus_life
note to self life can be like this life can be like this life can be like this 😗🎉🔥⚡🐆🌈👑 who the fuck is this grrl + where has she been for a longa$$ time 💘 #treehaus_life #dinneranddancing #inmykitchen i feel like i'm reconnecting to the time before.all.this.happened. 🙏🙏🙏 {sh0utz to my dirtya$$ mirror i found in the garbage} ✨✨✨
grateful to myself for being determined to make it this far #southeastqueensbiennial #writinghome #itsinqueens #herstory #moreofthispls in the beginning was a hero seeking HOME ❤️ {in 2013 on this night i curated my first show ever.. all is a circle as always ✨✨✨}
everything i wrote just got deleted. maybe for the best. i am open, breathing, shattered, expanding. the process of creating this installation is cracking me but bringing me peace. i came home tonight from adventures with my sister, babysitting my 8yrold BFF + talking to my forever heartbreak ex for the first time since late dec-- to find out about the tragedy of kobe + his daughter. to hear demi sing her comeback song on the grammy's. you can never understand what it feels like to want to exit this world by any means possible unless you've been there. people get taken unfairly + randomly. but the others, like me, who have wanted to go, so much. and our reasons WHY. her song tonight illuminated it all for me. have i been so incredibly lost inside my perceived failures-- of homes, partners, relationships-- that i cannot see at all the blessings that surround me? my gifts, my family, my community, my art? i know that feeling that has accompanied the majority of my life-- lord just send me ANYONE. ANYONE to make this hurt stop. ANYONE but my fucking self. 'i used to crave the world's attention i think i cried too many times i just need some more affection anything to get me by a hundred million stories and a hundred million songs i feel stupid when i sing nobody's listening to me nobody's listening' love to everyone hurting tonight. love to myself trying so fucking hard-- to stop grasping, stop fearing, stop longing, stop needing. and start listening. #writinghome #southeastqueensbiennial #legendsneverdie #thankyoudemi 💘 #post6001
this is, literally, since i got instagram back in 2012, my 6,000th post. i need a break. ❤️ "...to pause and abandon solutionism, step back from the project of progress, and dance into a different set of questions: what does the anthropocene teach us as a destabilizing agent that resists our taming? how can we show up in our movements of justice if 'the ways we respond to crisis is part of the crisis'? what happens when we unfurl into a space of slowness and relinquish human mastery to a wider cosmic net of relations?" -- @for.the.wild podcast. 🌿🚪👋 #treehaus_life #smallerandslower #listentotherain #adifferentsetofquestions [...]
"home is within you or home is nowhere at all" #southeastqueensbiennial #writinghome #tothineownselfbetrue #treehaus_life
when do you become grownup when do you forget #swordsandshadows #treehaus_life 🖤⚔️✨
very strange, humbling + heartrending. these are the most significant homes i have had in my life. save for 3, the rest were from the past five years. see how these all come together thru mapping, image, text, storytelling, collage, found + ritual objects in my new 2-part installation 'in the beginning was a hero seeking home' part of the 2020 southeast queens biennial, WRITING HOME, which opens nxt month in 2 venues in jamaica, queens 🙏🙏🙏🏡🏡🏡 #itsinqueens #thisiswhathealinglookslike #southeastqueensbiennial @yorkcollegefineartsgallery @jamaicaartscenter
