When I Put My Hands on Your Body, 1990

Gelatin silver print and silkscreen text on museum board

34 X 46 in. (86.4 x 116.8 cm)

“When I put my hands on your body, on your flesh, I feel the history of that body. Not just the beginning of its forming in that distant lake but all the way beyond its ending. I feel the warmth and texture and simultaneously see the flesh unwrap from the layers of fat and disappear. I see the fat disappear from the muscle, I see the muscle disappearing from around the organs and detaching itself from the bones. I see the organs gradually fade into transparency leaving a gleaming skeleton, gleaming like ivory that slowly revolves until it becomes dust. I am consumed in the sense of your weight, the way your flesh occupies momentary space, the fullness of it beneath my palms. I am amazed by how perfectly your body fits to the curves of my hands. If I could attach our blood vessels so we could become each other, I would. If I could attach our blood vessels in order to anchor you to the earth, to this present time, to me, I would. If I could open your body and slip up inside your skin and look out your eyes and forever have my lips fused with yours, I would. It makes me weep to feel the history of you, of your flesh beneath my hands, in a time of so much loss. It makes me weep to feel the movement of your flesh beneath my palms as you twist and turn over to one side, to create a series of gestures, to reach up around my neck, to draw me nearer. All these moments will be lost in time like tears in the rain.”

there’s a cultural obsession with labelling all female authors as unintelligent or otherwise only capable of accidentally stumbling into brief moments of genius in their works that we need to start pushing back against

“I was always bothered when people say, ‘I cry to your music, it sounds like a diary, it sounds so personal,’” Mitski says. “Yes, it is personal. But that’s so gendered. There’s no feeling of, ‘Oh, maybe she’s a songwriter and she wrote this as a piece of art.’”

(source)

feel like it's related to the phenomenon mitski's discussing here - if women's art is only seen as unfiltered diaristic emotion then of course it can only ever be accidental genius, never created with intention and thought

Emos & scene kids got this close to abolishing gender for real. I try not to think about it too much.

[shamebats]

The idea of a popular teenage subculture where girl & boys pretty much all dress the same feels impossible now but for a while it was reality and it was beautiful.

have u ever wanted to handmake a mamianqun (ma mian skirt)? boy do i have the sheet for you!

u can open this in excel (ugh), google sheets (eurgh) or better yet, libreoffice calc. Instructions on how to make your own ma mian skirt, some pictures, and all of the math done for you. Intermediate level sewing (or beginner with audacity). I've done mine all handsewn but you can use a machine if you want.

This is a great thing to make if you have an extra bedsheet/comforter cover/etc lying around. You /will/ need a lot of fabric.

This pattern uses only rectangles: no curves or weird shapes.

I haven't tested this on other body shapes besides my own, but since all of the measurements are input by the user I'm pretty sure it will work for a very large range of sizes

Time for handsewing (i'm relatively fast tho) is about 10 to 12 hours. Time for cutting and pressing and measuring is about 3 to 5 hours.

contact me if u have any questions/notice typos/have issues with the sheet

ok here you go bye

Editing to say if u make this send me pics!! I'd love to see. Also if u encounter issues or confusion with any steps so I can hopefully clarify them
