We got to be a part of Andrea Leoncavallo’s photo project dedicated to inspiring/inspired women — which is absolutely worth a gander:

An excellent weekend all around! Thank you, POWfest, thank you Portland, thank you talented women!

so, i’ve been up to my neck in newnesses. moved across the country to portland. lots of art/music/film happening here (trying not to stalk gus van sant or matt mccormick, for example). i have a little blog where i put the things i think about and make: hearsayandhyperbole.tumblr.com. here’s the latest, a stop-motion in a series about dreams/dreaming. it is an intimate arena and sometimes we share it with near strangers. i think that’s ok, and we should just let it happen.  that’s what this video/song is about.

p.s. it should be noted that all images, save a photo of alaina taken by sharon van etten, were found in someone else’s trash.
