Thank you for being here 🌸
Added 2022-08-13 05:04:52 +0000 UTCHey my loves,
I just want to thank you again for your support. It means more to me than you may realize... not just financially, but also the motivating fact that you believe in me for whatever reasons and have been here with me along the way. I know I don't share a lot here lately. This move to Portland has been quite lonely and somewhat soul crushing (but not completely, yet, don't worry). Creating art with people is my number one love language and where I feel most alive and it has been pretty sparse here. I feel like I'm on an island in a huge city, more isolated than I have ever felt in my life, which is crazy to say, because I have been in the middle of no where many many many many times all over the world. I'm on the verge of tossing my entire world into a blender, mixing it up and seeing where I land.
First though, I may start with a trip down to northern California at the end of the month. I've been invited to set up my first art show ever in a special new teahouse/yoga/event space in Sebastopol, my hometown. The best news is that the woman coordinating the art for the teahouse particularly loves my most raunchy stuff and wants to throw a fork in peoples perception of art and sensuality. I feel like this next month is going to reveal a lot.
Also, here are a couple of photos of me with my new pink. As you may notice, I never share my face so openly online. I do like the anonymous aesthetic and intrigue. But in a world so disconnected, I feel like being a little more connected to you.
Hope you are beaming,
Wrenna aka Huxleybird

Just seeing this now dear one. Thank you so much for sharing ❤️ I think my isolation is a variety of things, I tend towards loneliness and I think intimacy is very important for me. This city feels quite rigid and distant, I know there are gems in every place, but I am so conditioned by places like Maui and northern California bubbles where people are warmer and make it easier for someone like me to stay open. I appreciate your encouragement. I am trying something new here, giving it a chance, walking the line between 'sticking with what I started' and accepting when a place is just 'not-my-place'... still trying to listen and make slow decisions. May have to fly away soon though :)

2022-09-09 02:35:41 +0000 UTCI'm so sorry to hear you've been so isolated! What do you think is contributing to that? I've spent the last several years fighting loneliness by trying to find my place in the world. So far I have a growing list of not-my-places - it's a process! I encourage you to keep trying new things without compromising your values.

2022-08-14 00:39:34 +0000 UTCThank you Ben :) I think your right, the down time does put a lot into perspective and helps me observe what I've already done and where I want to go from here. You would love this teahouse, if you ever do make it to Sebastopol. I'll share the journey here for sure. xo

2022-08-13 18:27:00 +0000 UTCIt's a good face, thanks for sharing! I've gone through these ups and downs with creating many a time. currently in an extended down time... perhaps more solo experimentation to 'practice' even if that work ends up not being for our eyes. The teahouse event sounds rad! can't wait to hear and see all about it :)
