Recently I was very inspired by the MCA in Chicago

Considering photography through the ages and it’s involvement with technology and the human body
I felt truly connected, shocked, disgusted, confused, amazed, amused, and at peace. I felt a sense of belonging in the world of interdisciplinary art/technology/sound/expression

I am very excited to free up my approach and be bold and brave enough to take an artistic stance in all my creative endeavours

including making a new website

but in a way that feels truly me

Also, the theremin underwent some minor surgery this past week

it’s been hanging on by a thread (literally)

Ooo maybe my Patreon supporters can get BTS, first release blog post previews? :) *eye emoji*

So I’m very grateful that my 2017 Aussie theremin which has had multiple surgeries, power adaptor replacements and more has been revived! It lives on and I will not replace it unless I absolutely have to. I really appreciate the beautiful Aussie wood, and I’m very grateful to M.S. for fixing my theremin!

This makes me realise how much I’ve been neglecting this instrument as I’ve been so heavily focused on piano since 2018. I’m excited to get closer to the theremin and I’ll also be taking steps to aesthetically freshen it up too! ;)

Recently I’ve also been intrigued by bridges. I’ll share more later, but once I post about my paper, (or if you’ve read it already - it’s in the library)…

I’m in a time of transition [again]. And bridges feel so.. approp r i a  t   e   .     .      .
And let me tell you, there will always be people
who say mean things
or say they can do it better than you

but the truth is in the actions

and all the things I never did

because of one small thing someone said

and that fear, or assumption, that this is not for me.. or that I’m just not good enough at this..


Let me tell you,

don’t ever let anyone, or any of that stop you - and protect your energy

‘cause we don’t know the reasons

people say or do things

but I sure know what I can control and what I’m capable of …

I know I’m not the “best” at everything, but I know I can do anything I set my mind to. And you can too :) <3
