Paper Potential
My passion for paper started in the 5th grade when I learned about origami. My love for paper dolls blossomed into an obsession with origami and the area around me everywhere I went became littered with folded shapes. Boxes and butterflies, frogs and rabbits made of any kind of paper I could get my hands on, be it loose-leaf, magazine, or pizza flyer. A whole world opened up to me in which paper was no longer a two-dimensional word delivery method in books, or the bland, lined paper I doodled on more often than I did schoolwork. Now it was a medium for creating three-dimensional structures and tiny worlds that populated my imagined stories.

The Ultimate Playlist
My obsession with playlists started back in the bad old days of cassette players. I would borrow my grandmother's dual tape radio player and would spend hours listening to the radio, waiting for my favorite songs to play in order to lunge at the record button. I'm pretty sure there's a word in German for the feeling of crushing disappointment you have when you manage to catch your new favorite song only to run out of tape before the song is over. I made grainy, choppy, staticky mixtapes for everything. Mixtapes for waking up in the morning, mixtapes for homework, mixtapes for sleeping, you name it. If it was even remotely noteworthy, I probably had a mixtape for it. I tried to catch every fleeting emotion and transcribe it into the vocabulary of Dick Casey's top 40.
