I wanted it all too much
The labor of making you feel a certain way
A promise, a hope, a dream, an aspiration
The promise that seems to be not quite so promising
Confirm for me what I cannot see
When something new is more of the same
I feel like I know what you are talking about
My need to need what you need me to need
Smiling through gritted teeth (installation view)
If I could have feelings at all I'd have feelings for you
Why should we have been born knowing how to love the world?
Even if I scream I can't scream that loud
And I realized, with grief and fear, that I had remained out here
Wearing myself out trying to get there
That feeling of feeling
Don't stop now, I'm almost there
I like you, but I'm not in like with you
But can you ever just be whelmed?
Much better
Everything you were not and everything you failed to become
Keeps me safe from my trouble and pain
Special touch of elegance

The aspirations of the yearning individual in a valueless world (Chicago Cultural Center install 2017)
The aspirations of the yearning individual in a valueless world
Everything
Treasured
Looking no farther than my own backyard
Nothin' this pretty could be real
Think and act cheerfully, and you will be cheerful
All that glitters
Heavy
The best you and me that we can be, only better!
Too little, too late
The things I thought
Anchored
Nothin's gonna change
A Loquacious Love
Numb
