i’m here
to write
to farm
to spin yarn
to pick fruit
to not follow suit
to analogize
to proselytize
to take my morning shot of Yeezus
and play imaginary tennis in the orchard
to be still
to burn, flex, and rest
to mine time
to sit on the dock of Highway 228
breathing a concoction of oxygen and carbon
to tap in
to tap out
to plow the page with ancient symbols
the clouds are moving fast
i’m here
and that’s exciting.
Hi, I’m a designer from Oakland, California who has the great pleasure of making Oregon Country Farm my home for six weeks. I first met Serah when we studied at CCA together a number of years ago. Since then I’ve worked in design studios in the Bay Area. Over the last months I’ve felt a need to reconnect with my craft, particularly design, writing, and photography. So, here I am, the third musketeer on the filbert farm. Although the weather has been hot, and the days can feel long, working outdoors and getting my hands dirty is a welcome change from my life behind a computer. My personal work seems to morph and change regularly, similar to the greens in the raised beds and the blackberries growing on their vines. I am capturing my residency through photography and writing at designresidency.tumblr.com and invite you to follow as the adventure continues.
