A longitudinal study of the dahlias of my neighbor who has a sweet paint job


I don't know who lives here, but I like them.


I told him I thought they were so beautiful and he made me take three.














I wrote your wishes/prayers/hopes on the dried petals and have been releasing them in film canisters with old cathedral candle-ends.

    Priya - I sat in a half-dark room plucking the dry petals off, and it put me in a bit of a trance.

    Julia - They all say different things. Love, escape, peace, discovery, vacation, all the things you (plural) said.
