I am a visual artist working in collage, assemblage sculpture and altered books. My practice explores identity, memory and the history of the African diaspora. Vintage and contemporary images collide to convey how the past informs the present.

I have too much to do. I have too much to do. I have too much to do.

I'm going to Art & Soul in Portland, OR tomorrow and I'm mostly finished collecting the stuff I'll need. But I still need to do some things:

-- cheap, portable food that won't spoil
-- gift for a friend whose house I'll be staying at tomorrow night
-- checking the car (oh God oh God oh God I should've done this two weeks ago)
-- washing my hair so I can look like I take care of myself
-- printing out two more pictures, for my class with LK Ludwig (Okay, I just looked at her blog. She's worse off than I am right now.)

This is going to be a very busy month... the In-Laws are coming up at the end of the month, the Husband is looking for a new gig right now, I need to find some time to visit with my first-time-pregnant friend, and I want to get my Etsy store up and running (with three items). So what am I doing? Whinging about it instead of acting on what I need to do.

I have to go!!!

Still groggy from re-entry
