DISSEMBLE THE PUZZLE

THAT THEY TELL

Songs I’m listening to today: WAITING ROOM- KATHERYN MOHR

Film I’m watching: The Nature Of Love- Monia Chokri

Still watching this as I didn’t get to finish it yesterday, my sister was calling about heartbreak.

Books I’m reading: The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox/ Animus and Anima, two essays, Emma Jung

Focusing specifically on this text today, there’s so many parts that feel sexist and vulgar. And then so many parts that I understand. It’s challenging my critical thought and ability to pick and choose what I take and leave.

Trying a new one with a slightly harder strumming pattern

POETRY:

MESS

EVERYTHING PERFECTLY MESSY

IN ITS RIGHT PLACE

I LEFT IT THERE

IN A HEAT OF PASSION

A BOOK ON THE SOFA
A PILE OF WASHED CLOTHES
WOOL TO BE KNITTED
WORDS TO BE WRITTEN
TIDY THEM AWAY
HIDE THEM

PHOTOGRAPHY FROM WALK

Didn’t get out for a walk today, tired and had a meeting

CURRENT PIECE

I’m starting a bigger piece today. Inspired by the Voynich Manuscipts.

I’m also looking at symbols and characters that could make up my ‘language’

NEXT PIECE INSPIRATION

Voynich Manuscript

I want to create a 90 x 120 piece inspired by this style but first I’m going to experiment with the sewing border on small canvas and look at different ways I can interpret and play around with it.

To take it to a nerdy level I want to develop my own cryptic language that I then feed through some of the visuals.

Hilma Klint

Klint also offers me similar inspiration to the manuscript. Very mystical and spiritual but alot more measured. I feel the link between them both is that they are intuitive. Working on the smaller canvases I hope to find what comes out when I am flowing from intuition and connecting ‘to the divine’ (basically going into gamma waves and complete flow)
