a small personal archive

notes from the edge of the page

A place for unfinished thoughts, old images, good links, and the things that become clearer when they are written down.

Updated irregularly. Best read slowly.

Two pointed, metallic shapes cut from a dark mixed-media surface
A small illustrated mouse standing beneath leaves beside a strawberry
A vintage storybook illustration of figures gathered in a forest clearing
A watercolor illustration of a small mouse in a blue coat and hat crossing a stream

· notes

The internet is a room

On small websites, open doors, and the pleasure of finding evidence that someone cared about the shape of a page.

· field notes

A field guide to strange websites

A list of signals: tiny type, blue links, a page that keeps going, and other signs of life on the web.

· fragments

Scent, memory, and old paper

A few notes on books, rooms, perfume, and the strange way an object can return a whole afternoon.

Elsewhere

There are more older notes in the archive, a little more context on the about page, and a growing collection of things to read.
