Welcome to Wonderland.

Hi. I’m Malory.

I’m a multimedia collage artist, filmmaker, educator, and lifelong collector of scraps—paper scraps, story scraps, moments of everyday awe that don’t look like much until you notice them twice. My work lives at the intersection of analog collage, handmade journals, storytelling, and transformation. I’m interested in how we metabolize experience—especially the big, strange, beautiful inner ones.

Which brings me to Wonderland.

Wonderland is the book project I’m here to introduce (and slowly, playfully build in public). It’s a psychedelic integration journal—though you don’t need to have taken psychedelics to enter. Think of it as an art-forward, guided journal for creatively processing any experience that rattles you awake: a trip, a loss, a love affair, a near-miss, a sudden clarity at the grocery store.

Equal parts structure and play, Wonderland uses collage prompts, writing invitations, and visual whimsy to help make meaning out of what doesn’t neatly line up. It’s not about fixing yourself. It’s about listening differently.

A little about how I got here:

I studied filmmaking at Hampshire College and later founded Reel Grrls, a radical all-girl film school in Seattle that’s been supporting and mentoring young filmmakers for over two decades. Elevating untold stories and fanning creative confidence has been a through-line in everything I do—even when it exhausts me, even when I forget to apply it to myself.

When I’m not tearing paper, making films, or covered in paint, you can usually find me at the dojo. I’m a sixth-degree black belt in Aikido, a movement practice I rely on to keep me rooted, sane, and occasionally humbled. (Sometimes all three in the same class.)

If any of that makes you curious, you’re in the right place.
