At one time I had a very interesting story as to the origin of the name and what it meant, but now the story no longer interests me so I don't tell it anymore.
It is also possible that I have no interesting story at all.
I can't remember now.

During this time I was also working on various personal projects, mostly a large stencil art series, as well as a small collection of women's clothing. I would always present any personal work under the moniker "peopleareobjects" as I absolutely hate designers who turn their name into a brand. Signature labels are best left to couturiers, and even then I have reservations.
This blog itself has been through several incarnations and I feel the name is appropriate in that it, too, represents something in constant flux. My life has not ever been stable for more than a few months at a time, so why should these things that represent it be any more stable? This blog and its name, my life and my work, are whatever I need them to be at any given time. peopleareobjects is a brand name without a real tangible product. It is just an idea.
The "it", of course, is whatever this is.

Which brings us back to our original question. What is all this really?
peopleareobjects is a name I created while living in New York City in 2006.
You see where this is going, right? Good.
