In 2021 I hoped that in 2022 I would give myself “more space to run around and experiment”.
In 2022 I hoped that in 2023 I would “continue to make more noise than music”.
In 2024 I hope to continue to take small steps. To trust that with time things will fall into place. To devote consistency to my practice even when the path is clear. To continue to explore and experiment and push through even when it feels like I’m just making noise and spinning in circles.
In 2010 I learned photoshop for the clothing line I had with my brother. And in 2014 I screen printed this gradient hoodie. In 2020 I learned how to create with code. And in 2022 I screen printed this gradient flyer.
Two colors used in similar ways, years apart. It’s only after we’ve walked the steps that we can look back and see the path we’ve traveled.
