Artistic Vision

hi-hi. hello, I’m Angel - a mother of five, a keeper of a small farm in Downeast Maine, a maker of things, and a collector of thoughts. I sew into the night. I write when the house is still.

​

I’m interested in the things beneath the things: the patterns we repeat, the meanings we make, the strange little threads that connect our inner lives to the material world. My work rarely stays in one place for long. For years, it wandered between essays, photographs, garments, and various corners of the inter-webs. A little scattered. A little feral. This space is an attempt to gather it all without necessarily taming it. Think of it as a stitched-together archive.  A place where soil meets the internet, where old things find new lives, where jackets become a kind of catharsis, and where writing gives shape to whatever has been collecting in the corners of my mind. Through Farmhouse Vintage, Cathartic Wearables, photography, and essays, I’m interested in the beauty of things that have been lived in, handled, altered, mended, and made meaningful.

​

Perhaps that’s the thread running through it all: the impulse to gather, to make, to notice. To take the things that might otherwise remain scattered and give them somewhere to live.

Not everything needs to be neat to belong together.
