Gave the parental talk again. The pain and joy, they come as a package. You feel things intensely, and it is no cause for shame. It's where your creativity comes from, it's why you love so deeply. But it is hard. It leaves you raw. Be kind to yourself Now I just need to learn that lesson myself 😕

as much as i am loving the new series, as i sit here waiting to find out if the election will leave me with human rights come monday i am revisiting the hearts series and i am just astonished at how much of myself i put into making these. i've never felt as raw about an art project as this one

hazy shades in autumn

i offered it up to the stars and the night sky

in 2012, one year before the egg cracked, i slipped up in the company of academics and mentioned my affection for a song that hinted at some then-undisclosed queerness. i still remember how vicious they were about it

she knows that if she comments on the actual thing it will be ignored so she masks the feeling under art because people like the pretty pictures more than they like the ugly reality

context is for queens

carefully worded

containment failure

strange day when even the australians are anxiously watching the canadian election feeds

one of the "hearts" pieces that i didn't share originally, from the same variant that produced "saccharine". if i had given it a title at the time it probably would have been something like "it would be simpler for her if men did not make the artist feel things". <conflicted, exasperated sigh>

wherein the artist desperately reminds herself to remain at a distance and not let her emotion bleed into her posts

the #rstats code to make these two pieces is almost identical
