This weekend I’m fixing and swapping a door knob that won’t close, installing some new curtain rods, and cutting wood in prep for building a shelf
theres just something about it all that’s so soothing 💆🏿♂️
**I’m no carpenter or woodworker, but here’s a pedestal I recently made and painted — its not perfect but it works!

I’m finally putting a roof over the deck I built a couple years ago. I’ve probably screwed up a number of things with it, but seeing as it will never have much, if any, substantial weight on it I’m not worried.
There’s something special about creating things with your own hands that feels fantastic, regardless of how “perfect” it is.

Been off this app lately cuz ive been busy opening an art gallery in my hometown (San Diego) called Deixis Gallery! Been such a wonderful experience so far. It’s so beautiful to see how community comes together to help with every step along the way. Friends came by and helped paint, do construction, a friend of mine built us some benches from scratch, and a bunch of amazing artists participated in the inaugural exhibition. So hyped, truly recommend. And shout out to allstnyc for the encouragement back when I first posted an ask about opening a gallery! 🤞🏿🤞🏿🤞🏿also if you find yourself in San Diego, make sure to stop by! @deixisgallery

Spent a month in a cabin in a rural town in Washington state and fell in love. Spent my days gardening, writing, cooking, working out with logs and trees, just living the most simple life. Being back in a city makes me sick to my stomach now and capitalistic 🤮. It sucks.
