this is what i do when i break things.

a few months ago, i was innnocently walking home from a night out, when my the left arm of my glasses suddenly snapped off. i was not too surprised, as the glasses were purchased online for a mere ten dollars, but it was still disappointing because i really did like those glasses. i taped the arm back on and wore them around for a few more weeks.

then, during a photo class trip to joggins, nova scotia, there was an incident. i leaned over a railing to get a picture of this miniature waterfall, and my glasses fell off my face. into the stream of water falling from the cliffs. so i went down and searched. i found the glasses, but that pesky left arm was nowhere to be found. i continued to wear the glasses for a few more weeks, floating on my face crookedly with nothing on the left side to keep them in place.

then, i had an idea. i made my way to the sculpture studio and fashioned a new arm out of wood.
some failed experiments with epoxy, and some tape and a pin and gold thread later, they were fixed.

i want to start a creative mending service.
