​BLOEDEL JOURNAL

I am honored to be selected as a 2025 Bloedel Reserve Community Creative. This year-long fellowship allows me access to the beautiful 140-acre Reserve for my artistic pursuits, which will include photography, poetry, and more. It also affords me the opportunity to host art-based workshops for community well-being. 

​Bloedel Creative Project Week 1: Exploration. 
January; two cars in the lot. I walk in the rain. Wander the grounds without choosing a route, hands cold inside my gloves. Winter-blooming shrubs touched with droplets, streams filled with rainfall, moss beds soaking in green.

​Bloedel Creative Project Week 2: Recognition. 
Ribs, sternum, spine. Our bodies are everywhere, all around us. I find comfort seeing variations of myself out in the world. How different are we really, from one another?
