  Self as scrap

I set his place up in order to document a lot of the scrap collected over the years, especially the small pieces that were falling apart or being used in my work.  I just wanted to honor them in some way, know that they might disappear in some way or another.

Cloth is like self.

And so, it was in 2007 that I began this process.  Shortly after starting the Spirit Cloth blog.  At the time I had not much experience with photographing  or anything else internet based.  I  eventually got caught up in trying to make a living while creating and blogging and the whole project fell by the wayside.

Now in July of 2015 May 1, 2109, I return to it. My goal has broadened.  I hope to make it a place of inspiration, information and story.  So for now, it is in process.   Feel free to browse but expect change.
