Let's have fun measuring various things

[zoomhater222]

delirious dysania and jaunty jokes

how exhausting it is too morph constantly.

mind-numbing internal mayhem 

meets

the illusion of safety 

through performing what you want to see.

what you want to see.

what a collab.

I receive adulation,

but when the curtain closes, I am with me,

 and I stare.

ineffable imagination

dreaming of a world where your projections don’t make me want to run.

what does it look like to release our binary ways of thinking in terms of good/bad in order to collectively grow?

I love this question. I’ve thought so much about the binary way of thinking, and I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s toxic for anyone involved. Whether it’s in relation to the two political parties that dominate our country, the typical gender binary, or the idea that there has to be a strict divide between good and evil, the binary way of thinking rejects positive change and makes it nearly impossible to improve. Once someone starts to think deeper than just the binary, that’s when they start to think in more complex and new ways.

Flag magic!

Cyanotype making has become a very meditative thing and exciting thing for me. I didn’t realize how much I would fall in love with the process until I was reintroduced to it! It is so simple yet holds so much meaning, and I fell in love with the performative nature of the process. 

For my flag, I wanted to create something that could act as a grounding tool during dissociative episodes. I have PTSD and struggle with dissociation often around this time of year, and I noticed while sitting out in the sunshine, meditating, and tending to this material that it really grounded me in the present. I began timing my exposures, but then realized they came out more interesting when I intuitively timed them.

The final product was made through visualization, mindfulness, and photo magic. I sat outside after MANY failed attempts at having the text coming through, and I imagined myself rooting into the ground next to my fabric. I visualized the sun gleaming onto each letter and leaving a faint outline, gently pressing it’s image into the fabric. I visualized light hugging my material, and thought repeatedly:

“You are here. This is real. You are safe.”

Orbs gleamed from the reflection of the negative, and I just kept thinking about how magical the process is. I imagined love energy as blue light and imagined it pouring over the fabric. I imagined anyone passing by it feeling at peace and loved. When it felt right, like every letter in my mind was showing through, I went inside and rinsed it. No cap....it looked very closely to how I imagined it would! 

This flag serves as a grounding tool both in its creation and in its physical results. I hope people will pass by the flag and see it and take it as a sign that they are loved and safe.
