Cancer

”Verity Inspector at your service”
I’m keen on rummaging and rifling through the universe for connections. Caution, this girl's head is filled with perpetual chatter involving red light...stop, green light...go. This game of Traffic Light-Tango signals my pursuance of balance, something like spirituality in urbanism. Sidewalk Conversation Conspiracies have led me to communications with diverse peoples and cultures; this is the stuff that informs my knack for self-awareness.

My ever changing self-titled recipe…

1 part interactive attire
4 parts inquisitiveness
3 parts “heart in my breast pocket”
1/2 morsel songbird

1 handful found objects
