MY MOTHER WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. I AM CURRENTLY SENDING OUT SWAPS TO PEOPLE SHE OWES SWAPS TO. THANK YOU.

I was born under the sign of Capricorn, in the year of the Rooster. I make my living as a librarian, but my passion is in exhibition reseach & design. I am studying to be a yoga instructor. I love to travel and I love taking photographs. I also love being exposed to new things and new ideas. I especially love when nature & artifice collide. My personal motto is, "without obsession, what is the point?". I don't care much about politics.

These are a few of my favorite things-

Taking pictures of: architectural details, trees, shadows, nature (both natural and abstracted).

In colors: I love jewel tones with the most favorite being purples & greens.

Images (postcards) of: snails, old illustrations from fairy tales, the saints, antique maps, art reproductions (Der Blaue Reiter, Impressionist, Art Deco), swans,

Scents: sandalwood & patchouli. My favorite perfum is Opium.

Collecting: postcards, stamps, turtles, squashed pennies.

Visiting: museums, castles, forests, botantical gardens, historical sites, places when strange phenomenon are taking place, islands, zoos, riverbanks, aquariums.

Doing: exploring with my family, dancing, running along the river, glamour bombing, collecting heads-up pennies (which I then put into squashing machines)

And I am quite fond of: (not white) zinfadels, black pepper aioli and potatos, cooking, being alone in crowds of people, terrariums, Early Modern Europe through the Renaissance, insects (grasshoppers, praying manti, fireflies, moths, butterflies & beetles), Natural and Social Histories of things, Cabinets of Curiosities.

Bands- Massive Attack, Dead Can Dance, The Cure, The Buddha Bar CDs, chamber music.

Crafts- Rock Painting, paper flowers, origami, embroidery, rubber stamps, photocards.
