My name is Walden, I am a multidisciplinary creative with a focus in mixed media visual art and writing. I am a soon to be graduate of the Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design with a degree in architecture. 

I love furniture, abstract art, making for the sake of making, and the person behind every creation. 

No use of A.I., now or ever.

POETRY OF THE WEEK



Made


You gotta make that bed every day,
with the knowledge that you’ll sleep in it again
and fuck it up.

You have to accept the fact that you’ll eat shit;
every day, every step,
until you die.

You have to get back up from the ground,
with dirt in your mouth,
and smille through the stones.

Look forward to nose diving in the mud again.
If you aren’t failing,
you’re dead.

Collared, leashless, dog
standing in a drainage ditch.

Half-rusted chain-link
missing every post cap but one.
