I directed Johanna in my first short film many years ago about mermaids. She sometimes shows up in dreams once in awhile and she looks happy. I miss her very much. God really broke the mold with that one.
She was on my mind today and I found this photo of her. I found out about the memorial at the Loudoun House too late to attend a few years ago, but I wanted to share this anyway. She was the first person willing to put on one of our really janky tails and try it out in the pool.
She was one of the bravest artists I've ever met.
This photo was taken by Landon Antonetti in Lexington, KY back in 2011 when we filmed Waterbody that May I think...believe it or not, this was behind a Walmart, lol. I'm sure he has more images of Twiggz dressed up like a mermaid if you want to contact him. I haven't heard from him since before the pandemic started.
Anyway. Miss you, homegirl. I should've told you more often how beautiful you were inside and out, and how brave an artist and how much I admired you for that fact. You never turned me down when I asked you to contribute something whether it was a piece of art or showing up to be in some crazy installation project. Sometimes, I still can't believe you're gone. I know somewhere you're out there hopscotching over stars covered in stardust. Love ya, little sister.

Fierce, funny, fearless....and sweet - Twiggy brightened all of our worlds with her eclectic, electric love of life. I'm looking at this photo now and feeling your vibrant spirit, thinking of all the coffee chats, how thrilled you were with sparkly eyeshadow, how thrilled I was with your fab sense of style, listening to Massive Attack and anything else on your soundtrack, hearing your sassy take on everyday life - Twiggy, we already missed you in Brooklyn...now we are heartbroken and can't even think of a world without you. Love, Danielle and Gio

I am deeply saddened to hear the news of Johanna's passing. She was always full of vibrant, colorful energy. She showed me and many others kindness. I am praying for you as a family as you mourn the loss of a daughter and a sister. May God comfort and surround you.
