memory hous(es)ing









my gig as an archivist's assistant has its perks.*

bleeds into my fashion choices. what is consistently
frustrating about modern clothing options is that
everything is over-determined + over-designed with an often
clumsy, desperate execution for uniqueness - but less is bold.
for the most part, more is more and less is less, but amid
appropriate context, less is simply majestic.
