Curiosity & Other Cures
is my newsletter I started in early 2023.

From 2023-2025 I posted a series of personal memoir essays (as seen below). It was a practice in vulnerability and personal archive. I’ve now taken all my personal memoirs down because when I read them I feel that they were made from states of mind that I no longer wish to remain tethered to. Although I usually tie visual artworks into all the writing I make, I feel that the memoirs I was posting were not grounded enough in art, and I was not grounded enough in my body and mind to pull through really effective essays. I for sure had the Spirit, but my cognitive faculties were compromised by economic desperation, unhealed and ongoing interpersonal trauma, and the throws of addiction… I was really writing from survival mode.

From 2026 forward, I will likely only post updates and essays that are directly about my experiences with art. If I want to write about a topic or life experience of mine, but there is no particular artwork that I feel compelled to weave with my words, I will just have to make said artwork myself… art or nothin’.

sharing your writing is scary….
but we give it a go…
