From Chaos to Curiosity
Listen!—my art practice has been a bit all over the place for a while now. The vibe was experimental phase for sure, in the beginning I was limited to well what CAN I even create? Toggling between thinking about what sells, what do I like, what am I capable of and on and on and on. As an aside the battle between creating what sells and what moves you is the eternal struggling for an artist and I have barely dipped my toe in figuring that out.
It’s been really fun having the time and space to explore and go wild and just create whatever popped into my head (for better or worse). However, since my residency a few months ago in Mexico City I’ve been craving something with more structure—something that feels like stepping into a story rather than just a random assortment of things I found cool at the time. When I started the project I was worried being forced into a specific box would make me feel limited but it was really the opposite experience.
So, I’m making a shift. Instead of a beautiful mess of ideas, I want each collection to have a theme, a vibe, a mood. A world you can get lost in.
Welcome to Season One
For this next drop, we’re going full-on mysterious collector mode with the theme Cabinet of Curiosities. I fell down so many rabbit holes while researching this theme, the possibilities were truly endless (and fkn WEIRD).
Cabinets of curiosities, or Wunderkammern, emerged during the Renaissance as a way for collectors to showcase rare and bizarre objects—fossils, taxidermy and botanical specimens. A narwhal tusk? Obviously a unicorn horn. These collections blurred the lines between science, art, and legend, turning private rooms into miniature museums of the unknown.
Over time, as science advanced, the wonder surrounding these oddities shifted. A two-headed lamb, once seen as a divine omen, became just another biological anomaly and was considered grotesque. The focus moved from mystery to classification, eventually leading to the birth of natural history museums. But there’s still something magical about those early cabinets, where the strange and extraordinary were celebrated simply for being so wonderfully weird.
So, if you’re into mystery, magic, and things that make you go hmm…, you’re gonna love this. Stay tuned, stay curious, and maybe start clearing a little space on your own shelf of wonders.
Big things are coming. 🖤✨
