this is what I cri-ate

I’m not sure when my love for cutting and pasting began. Maybe it started in school, when assignments that involved scissors and glue filled me with excitement though my mom would always end up doing them for me. I remember asking her to let me try, and she would smile and say, “Your hands are still too small.”

Or maybe it began in quieter moments watching her cut flowers out of colored paper and carefully place them on the walls of my room, turning something simple into something alive. Or during summer vacations days when she would take me to work with her, where one of her tasks was to cut out newspaper clippings about her work and paste them into a large book with blank pages. I would watch closely, fascinated by how fragments could become a story.

All I know is: as a creative, I’ve often been told to write my ideas down. But for me, ideas don’t live as words alone. I feel them in textures, in layers, in pieces waiting to be found.


I don’t just write my ideas

I cut them, paste them, and I turn them into something that can be seen, touched,

and feels more than words on a page.
