walking
from an apartment i rent alone
from a room i painted
from a bed i stumbled into
from a laptop i bought
from this idea of collected change
within a unit
walking is one of my favorite things to do. it's how I've spent most of my time over the past few months. walking around cities housed within the beautiful country of America.
i knew i couldn't just idly walk for much longer
so i began to think
began to notice idleness as something that needed to change
began to consider building
again
consider:
how could i put something i love to do
to use
in a practical way?
by changing it's shape.
as i walked around Chicago
i began taking pictures of places i'd like to reach out to with the intent of finding work or a place to introduce toolboxearth
i began wanting to foster relationships again
and taking pictures of places
led to all different types of pictures
led to all different types of fostered relationships
i began handing these pieces
i never thought i could hand over again
to Chicago
and i've found fostered relationships
that have become a kind of family
to me
here
walking with newly found purpose
through the streets
of Chicago
so far:
treat, shoes, harriet tubman, visitor, capitalism/monopoloyman/freeus, anne frank, the poet, fallen food, watertowers, dead creatures, blonzo, murals/proper street art, smiles, handwritten things, free Gaza&Palestine/Israel, misc./funny, heart people
jury's out on:
scrunchies(shows a circle in time but eh look at that list), rubberbands (cool, but frustratingly abundant and, again, cc: the list)
i gotta get organized and compile these
if it's going to keep moving
forward
to show you
these friends ive found
on the streets of chicago
with new weavings coming soon!
with unknowing, undeniably guided hands,
as a bottom feeder,
