about “life is a garden”
☆ “The self as a puzzle: to be deciphered… the self as a project: to be built” [source unknown].
ripped from joan watson’s notes on art historical combines
☆ “Writing has nothing to do with signifying. It has to do with surveying, mapping, even realms that are yet to come.”
Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, A Thousand Plateaus, p 25
life is a garden to be nutured, to be conscious of. to sit in, to dig. to unearth, to weed and till. 🌿
this rhizome, like all, is layered, messy. sometimes it’s even fun! sometimes it’s boring!
“life is a garden” is an active exercise of contextualizing my practice through a web of personal memory and peripheral history.
this section of my website will be a constant work in progress, date and timestamped at the bottom whenever changes are made. sometimes it’ll be a little hard to read. that is the nature of it all: its a W.I.P.! enjoy :)
