the number six tastes like moth

8. i've been know to say-

some say it’s a fine line, in my case, it’s a permeable membrane.

i know just how that guy feels. i am 1 of many i know who are equally interested in the arts and the sciences. so many of us ended up not rly doing either. just as u say, we suck it up, then want to move on. i find myself reinventing myself every decade or so. tho. mother nature is remaking me as we speak.
i’ve had many depressive episodes, but it’s when i hit a good place that ppl start to wonder about me. i go from project to project w low spots in between, and it can look bipolar. i dont f things up tho. i dont lack control.

brains have been a topic of interest from my 1st kid, tho. i have 5, all geniuses, all a tad cray.
i’ve watched the science of it unfold in my lifetime. brains, humans, endlessly fascinating to me.
i wrote in my artist statement, back when i was on that path, after my kids got big enough to go back to that-
there were no spots on jane goodall’s team in africa, so i grew my own little troop of apes, and watched them evolve.

it was quite a trip.
