As time falls away from me and deadlines loom I am reminded to distract myself. Procrastination always wins. This short video is beautifully shot and the soundtrack is so ominous. Love the little girl’s spindly legs swimming in her baby-doll dress. The fimo-like smiling face of the pencil is my least favorite part.
A friend turned me towards this short animation. Seems to ring true…

My, oh my, I am at it again.
At 18 years, I had never been in love, never even had a boyfriend, and never thought any of this would change…
Eliciting the wistful tears of a naïve teenager, I will channel 16, 17 and 18 year-old Damaris for my performance piece this Saturday. Come watch me write out my super-top-secret-lovey-dovey journal entries from high school.
“I can feel you, I know you exist. You flow through my veins, live in my chest…”- Just a snippet.
Ever seen a girl in a nightgown on a 30 ft ladder writing in lipstick on windowpanes? I am defying impending death while speaking from my teenage heart. Come September 19th and check it out.
Hi All,
I am showing my world-renowned video experiment this Sunday—365 Faces!
365 Faces took me exactly a year to complete. As an act of artistic contrition, I uploaded a short video clip of myself each and everyday of 2008. These clips are meant to showcase the wide array of expressions and emotions my face is capable of.
And here comes the final product: an actual live auction of 5 selected Damarisland clips (you yourself can actually OWN a limited edition Damarisland facial expression). I have hired a celebrity to be the auctioneer: the one, the only Arthur Francisco will be heading up the bidding!
I am asking audience members to forfeit their insubstantial, monetary currency and to bid using the “Universal Currency of Approval” aka “The High-Five”. Be ready for heads to roll.
Do come out and support me and PERFORM Williamsburg,
“365 Faces, if you want me, you got me, but you have to pay”

OK, so it feels almost like half a century has passed by since my move to New York, yet it is also strange to type about a festival I performed at last summer and now am showing at once again, as though it were a blink of the eye in some ways. How can a year feel long and short all at the same time? I am at a loss.
Anyways, I will be telling people their HEXAHEXAFLEXAGON Fortunes up at Wassaic this summer…
Housed in and around historic buildings in Wassaic, NY, The Wassaic Project’s summer festival escapes the white walls of traditional art spaces and focuses on site-sensitive installations and performances. This festival creates a weekend-long opportunity for the public, as well as artists of all mediums, to come together, exchange ideas, learn new things, and engage in a thriving community.
Participants are encouraged to come for the day or stay the weekend camping onsite. Programming is cutting-edge yet predominantly family friendly. The beautiful Hamlet of Wassaic is remarkably accessible from NYC and a short walk from the Wassaic MetroNorth train station.
