hey neighbor, i'm sami
I'm an artist lol. Ok let's freewrite an artist bio. I think our job on earth is to make it lovlier, safer, better for all life and I hope to do that with my art and the ways I am in relationship with all things. I do art because it reminds me I am alive and capable of infinite change and possibility. I read in an essay by Jamnes Baldwin today that "artists know, and must remind us, nothing is stable under heaven" and I am paraphrasing, but he goes on to say that grappling with the miracles and horrors of being alive and channeling all that aliveness into art is pure freedom.
