For me Florida is a place where I notice cycles. Growing up in Pennsylvania I was used to the divisions of the year provided by distinct seasons. Here in Florida time seems to function differently- it moves sure- but when it's 85 and I’m picking out pumpkins for carving I can't help but feel time moving slowly. It's easy to love the mildness of the winter, but this has been tempered by the sameness of the hot summer days. Summer feels more like one long moment- less like months, let alone weeks or days. Though it's been almost 20 years since I lived in Pennsylvania I guess my body still searches for those signals to mark the passing of time. Florida has made me more aware of the subtleties of these changes. Through my work I try to see past the sameness of each day, to find the incremental, because that is the stuff that adds up.
Through my comics I’ve come to invite these small incremental moments- to memorialize them in bits of drawing and prose so that I might hopefully understand better where I am in all this.
