Prints, etchings and other emotional slimes. Images searching for words, searching for senses.

Revisiting: the fragility of a body. Etching, collage, watercolor.

Impulsive Impulse! Who else thinks it looks a bit like a sperm?

The flakes of feeling turned into an artefact for the Cabinet of Emotional Curiosities. This one is ‘Tantalising Anxiety’ two feelings merged together, created by LOAF participants in the Watford Museum, exhibited in Felixstowe Hamilton MAS gallery.

An unidentified flake of feeling.... discovered when packing up the show two weeks ago (with the help and support of @me_backwards and @emmadruryorourke ). Kept it, obviously. I'm a hoarder of feels.

Grateful for this wacky dream and their help a couple of days ago! @amiliah @alisajham Couldn't have done it without them! Special thanks to @alisajham for sorting out the nails and hooks and screws! https://www.instagram.com/p/B4AmH0BFNVOmZAcJaEFkRqlu1XEu7bBhZEQiA40/?igshid=19zb2d6vu4gx3

'Are you going your witches' den to do your mysterious rituals?' he usually asks after dinner. Yes, after breastfeeding. This is my life now. The thing about sharing your creative process is that it's usually not very pretty or instagrammable. It's a bonkers mess. Which I'm just emerging from, err about bloody time less than a DAY before the exhibition with @tori.jhi and @katiermilly. I'm scared and excited in equal parts. Wish there was a slime for that. "After" Exhibition will run in Felixtowe for 2weeks because a kind mysterious Absinthe man from @realabsinthe decided to sponsor us and we are very grateful (Absinthe tho, who knew!). Go check it out if by some strange coincidence you're in the area. It's where the old dodgy Tatoo Parlour used to be. https://www.instagram.com/p/B3u1TUCFxmdcAjSfWL_dS23AFwgu6R0_Qq0ito0/?igshid=1pd4ns81bdqm8

I found this emotional arch when going through the feels made by #whylove exhibition participants. Each slime feel blended into another one completely accidentally. Beginning with Comfort which turns to Sloth and morphs into Fantasy, Longing and ends in Melancholia...some comforts don't end well. https://www.instagram.com/p/B3R2-DFFdnnlAHX8GAzcPsAJm2FwcuF0oNQlx40/?igshid=kkze1g7mmef1

Today I was faced with: too many prints, not enough frames/not enough money for frames. I need those ones of you which really REALLY need to be seen please stand out. Speak now. And once you're out there, I will do my best to step back and let you let you chat with the world without interfering. I cannot babysit you.How you all are perceived once it's out there is out of your control #artistangst #printmaking #londonexhibition #art #etching #monoprint #magiclessons #framing #creativestatesofmind #creativeprocess #headache #imtalkingtomyart #elisabethgilbert #fineartprints #londonartist #firstworldproblems #notenoughframesintheworld #notenoughframes https://www.instagram.com/p/B3FwylQn_XBsfjw7HgMB8VfcT6ykUL-f5tNM0U0/?igshid=xyp6j79hp08y

An exploration of the experience of having a body- it's strength, mortality, sickness, pain, healing and being made out of the substance of stars. A solo exhibition of Karolina Gordon’s etchings, monoprints and collages.

On the opening night, Karolina will run an interactive pop-up slime installation. Laboratory of Amorphous Feelings (LOAF) is an innovative take on emotional literacy and sensory aspects of processing ideas. https://www.instagram.com/loaf.experiment/

This event is kindly hosted by Whittington Park cafe - a cosy space well established in the local community.

Complimentary drink with each free ticket and tapas available to purchase on the opening evening.

Framing Framing!!! (With very basic frames, nothing fancy on my Skint kinda budget) framing is exciting as it makes old forgotten work look LEGIT and freahshhh again. https://karolinagordon.tumblr.com Have I overloaded myself slightly by arranging not one but two art shows in a short space of time whilst having zero time between running around after my little one? Er.probably. ..will still pull it off, stressing myself and my loved ones out in the process? Definitely. I'm getting ready to hang these old pieces in @whittington_cafe soon, but shh you don't know that they are old relics from my art school do you, you're seeing them for the first time! I miss the good old days of having access to print studio day and night, working through my mortality through prints. Studio days will come back!

Few more experiments to add today. I kept slimes' original names (they didn't fit on photos) "Entanglement", "Empathy" and "Allure" https://www.instagram.com/p/B2SCHmqnufp/?igshid=1g2gyguz79tp4

A wise person once told me to share more more stuuufff!! (thanks @me_backwards ) hard to share process sketches and unfinished preparations for an upcoming group show, when you're a perfectionist with unrealistic expectations of yourself...eek Anxiety trigger! But as also wise @austinkleon said, you don't have to be a genius so whatever, here's simply a sneaky peek to this process. I'm interested in how we attach meanings to objects. I'm playing around with dried up flakes of slime from the last slime workshop in the @watfordmuseum and combining the with random objects I find on the street. Let's see what happens.(shout out to @vic.jh and @katiermilly whaat work in progress have you got?;) #londonartist #londonslime #youdonthavetobeagenius #showyourwork #dryslime #collage #workinprogress #art #objecttrouvé #foundobjectart #slimeartist... https://www.instagram.com/p/B2PWhfqnyXI/?igshid=1l82c18ew5weq

In the chaotic collection of random found objects and the dried up slime creations, i see a world full of potential. More slime work to come soon. Preparations for MAS Hamilton exhibition with @katiermilly and @vic.jh coming to Felixstowe in October... https://www.instagram.com/p/B14Nz8GHjJX/?igshid=1iuxnyiptmojv
