'this body is edgeland' #bjc2021 Been creating some photos for an exhibition that my poetry is being played and displayed at in June (more details to follow!). I've realised I haven't created any art / prints / photos for ages, my head has been somewhere totally different for the last year. I really need to get my focus back and start creating again. I seem to have given up on everything and everyone I hold most dear, and for that I'm truly sorry. My head has really been going through a weird and confusing time. I can't blame it on Covid, although that has fucked up some amazing things, I just think my brain had enough and decided to hide away for a bit. Trying to restart it now. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #thisbodyisedgeland #poem #photography #ecopoetry #eco #ecology #exhibition #artgallery #festival #mindmelt #breakdown #depression #weird #confusing #brain #me : #purley #pagan #poet #cuttheblackrabbit #againstthegrainpoetrypress #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetryporn #southlondon #uk (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPW5L2SH9N4/?utm_medium=tumblr
