"In the forest, there was a crooked tree and a straight tree. Every day, the straight tree would say to the crooked tree, "Look at me...I'm tall, and I'm straight, and I'm handsome. Look at you...you're all crooked and bent over. No one wants to look at you." And they grew up in that forest together. And then one day the loggers came, and they saw the crooked tree and the straight tree, and they said, "Just cut the straight trees and leave the rest." So the loggers turned all the straight trees into lumber and toothpicks and paper. And the crooked tree is still there, growing stronger and stranger every day."

— Tom Waits

The dog tag is amazing - having it personalised is just the best - it's so very important to me. The tag is really good quality and the care and craft that have gone into it is exceptional - Sky was so good to deal with - awesome experience all round :D

Welcome to my Dream

Nothing happened. And everything did.

Your whole life you can be told something is wrong and so you believe it. Why should you question it? But then slowly seeds are planted inside of you, one by one, by a touch or a look or a day skateboarding in a park, and they start to burst out of old hulls shells and they start to sprout. And pretty soon there are so many of them.
They are named Love and Trust and Kindness and Joy and Desire and Wonder and Spirit and Soulmate.

They grow into a garden so dense and thick that it starts to invade your brain where the old things you were once told are dying.

I believe We all have sublime qualities which one cannot really explain. Perhaps our most personal feature is our imagination; with it we can do anything... We can escape the physical world and experience things that are impossible to humans.

In my work I try to create literary objects. I make metal sing and tell stories, reference the magical realism of of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and plant Marilyn Monroe's kisses on Kafka's frozen ax. I was a writer for 7 years and All of my pieces are based on stories, cultural myths, and meditations on popular culture.

Just like any woman...I weave stories out of my body. Some of us through our children, or our art; some do it just by living. It's all the same.
