“Happy birthday grandma” I told her like the tree that she was. She hovered over me and smiled.
“Happy birthday grandma” then all of a sudden my question from before was answered.
“When a tree falls, and no one is there to hear it, does it make a noise?” the answer is yes.
Happy birthday grandma.

  

Why can’t you obey?
Such a disobedient child.
Why can’t you listen?
Such hatred you show me.
I tell you lean this way.
You flab that way.
And whats with your sensitivity?
I get one paper cut and it feels
Like my fingers been cut off.
I’ve tried to make you listen.
I’ve tried to train you.
But no matter what I do or say.
My body has a mind of its own.

  

Embrace the inner
At best outer disguise
Believe why oh u

  

You like to buy things
You can buy shoes and shirts but
You cannot buy earth

  

Biography:

-Artist Statement In all my years in regular public schools, I learned something here at as220 that was missing in my life. I love making art, of any kind. Before I had limited options of what I want to do with my life, since I hate hospitals and being cut off from the real world. As220 has opened doors that were once taped all over with “caution” signs. Let me start off with the specific subject that I prefer. I lied. There is no specific subject I prefer here, because I learned I can do anything I set my mind to. Beatmaking, dance, drawing, photography, writing, streetband, even fab lab classes three times a week. In all these classes I learned something different, essential, inspiring, and the best part is that I’m actually good at them. Going into class, any class always starts with my mentor giving me a lesson. Then I incorporate this lesson with art I will make. This process I feel like improves my art because the freedom in all my classes allows me to take the lesson and make it my own, it lets me not only learn something new, but also lets me express myself fully. With this technique, it is made sure that any art I would make will automatically be different from anybody else, because only I can express how I view and feel about things. In every single one pieces of art I make, I can see a different side of me that I can physically tap into. When other people see my art they say they see talent. I say I see the ladder, the ladder of improvement, and with each step, each lesson, I’m learning how to more perfect my art. It’s crazy how before joining as220 I had so many goals and aspirations that had nothing to with art. Now all I have is goals and aspirations that can only involve art. I have surprised myself with hidden talents that only make me want to pursue it even further. The best part about being an artist from as220, is all our mentors. Each and everyone one of them inspire me in their own way to better myself.
