stories of (my)self. (...trans/formation ongoing...)
tributaries to a river~~~~~
as the story suggests there are many influences
and confluences that make me who i am.
being in relationship with all of these things
creates a less boundaried, gendered, static
sense of self

party boat narrative
what carries the most meaning for me is that this rock carving is a spirit boat filled with ancestral spirits allowing the person to fly. jenny has called it the party boat, because that is true in some fashion. with all of my spirits on board it is something like a party! once all of my ancestral spirits are with me, i feel light, allowing me to fly and flip. thus sometimes i call this my cartwheel spirit. also evoked are peter pan’s happy thoughts, or the african american tradition of flying. the short video clip is my homemade attempt at illustrating this…
