Taught to Roar (a modern tape mix)

March 30, 2018

A Ginger Delilah

What if history got it wrong?
What if Delilah was a redhead?

Swingin jaw bone of an ass

In your defense you said

"I Only 'Dates' Good Girls"

(So my issue couldn't be his fault)

i am tired
i am sooo tired but i can’t sleep

I just took a text from another

somebody good I will never know

but who I've shared by extension

She wanted to know if she should trust herself

I said "yes" but leave me out

 it was better then the butt dial

calling your name on my voice mail

as you said "do you like that?"

an impressive half hour but I'm weary,

I'm weary and worn left unrode

you've eaten away honey from inside a lioness

Your crazy thinking you can dance unburnt

thinking you can own every fire

I know you like it hot but to much Ginger bites

she told me she saw

you cheating on us in a public place

setting fire to more fields with red headed foxy tales

she said they all looked like me but not

screaming she was going to pull the trigger

You asked if I would too but

I've already died ten thousand times before

She told me where you

kept all the good girl hearts in a box

with three locks under your bed

with your I'm-your-one-and-only key

i am tired of wanting and wishing

She told me you said I would laugh

because we were done

we were nothing
                            ............i AM tired of dreaming dreams

I wish I didn't care, how many nothings do you need?

silver at the temples turns my red hair but I'm still a flame

next time

I'm going to lay your head in my lap raise my blade

and shave off your beautiful long black,

hair into a pile at my feet then,

lead you into temple,

leave you to pull down your own walls

then history will know

 

I'm a good girl....... I roar

 On going projects:    A Mile in her shoes and A Woman of a Certain Age

On going projects: A Mile in her shoes and A Woman of a Certain Age
August 8, 2018

I have been trying on and documenting shoes that have been and/or will again be worn by other people.

I was recently informed that women of a certain age and body type are just not physically desirable. (mine) Because of this fact we should just accept our new role and save other's from having to suffer through our selfies.... and our bodies.
My reaction was to start creating a two part related body of work looking at the expectations of aging and roles.
One part is based on a folk saying that hung beside my grandmother's kitchen table "don't' judge a person until you've walked a mile in their moccasins" I want to see if a shoes' history could help me better understand this persons point of view by "walk a mile" in other's shoes. To explore this ideas I've been photographing myself wearing used shoes on site in second had shops with whatever is there. I figured the length of my foot x 2 to get the number of shoes I have to wear and photograph to reach a "mile."
6,670 shoes or 3,335 pairs
The other part is simply selfies including nude studies exploring what my "new role" could be as a widowed woman of a certain age. It contains a variety of images from sexy to grandmotherly... if there is a distinction there.
At this both studies are intertwined and are still in a digital form. I image them printed and displayed in relatively small printed forms to bring the viewer into an intimate distance with an older woman. Which maybe they have never experienced before
