Why is the blog here? Why is it named clover's fields? (About Me)

Dear Reader:

Hi, I'm Clover, and I use they\them pronouns. I am here to make things, and study things other people have made. But- although this blog is focused on my solitary pursuits- my art is driven by connection, to people, places, times, and experiences. The story of the name, then, is this:

The song Strawberry Fields Forever, by the Beatles, always evokes the summer I really got to know my best friend; the summer we biked halfway across town and then back, to the other side, a casualty of a missed turn. We were thirteen. Maybe the memory of being thirteen won't be quite so vivid to me once I've gotten further from it; but I hope not. I want to remember every detail of my lungs heaving as we biked up a hill, my heart pounding in my ears as we sped down the other side. I want to remember how painful it was, and how accomplished we felt when we finally got there. I want to remember how it really wasn't so bad, because we were together. 

So, clover's fields is a nod to just that: how it really isn't so bad, because we're here, together.

Sincerely,

Clover
