untitled. something something cycle of life and inevitability of death idk. I had a lot of fun making this one :)

more info on process and close up pics under the cut, or click for higher quality

this piece was a final project for on of my classes this term. we had to make something that is a continuation of themes and processes we’d been exploring earlier in the class, so i decided to make something using transparent paper (the layer the black line art is on) and playing around more with themes of life and death, which have been occurring a lot in my art this year. northern lights and owls are symbolic of death, to anishinaabe culture. northern lights are the ancestors, where we journey to the stars when we’re done out time on earth. owls are messengers of death and spirits. and basically my uncle died and i’ve been working out some of my feelings through drawing. I used a charcoal pencil for the line art, on top of transparent paper, and then chalk pastel for the northern lights underneath. i really feel like i’ve been levelling up my approach to drawing lately and im soooo excited for future projects :)

One last plea... before I lose him forever

I'm not asking for money... I'm asking for life. I'm asking for a chance to see my child open his eyes again, laugh, call for me... I'm asking for a chance to hold him without feeling his breath disappear in my hands.

My little boy, a piece of my soul, is fighting death right now. His frail body is trembling, his eyes are filled with fear, he's searching for me as if he knows the end is near... and I stand helplessly by his side, my heart crumbling, my soul torn apart a thousand times every second. The doctors said he needs urgent surgery, but death is faster than me... and money stands between me and saving him.

Imagine watching your child dying, and all your screams, tears, and pleas meaningless because you don't have the money... Imagine that life forces you to be rich to keep your children, otherwise death will take them from you mercilessly...

I am writing these words and my heart is burning, collapsing, dying before my child... Please, please, with every tear, every pain, every compassion in your hearts, help me with anything, with any amount, with any share of this appeal... Perhaps your hand will be the one that saves him before it's too late.

I don't want to lose him... I don't want to carry him to his grave knowing that the chance to save him was in your hands...

Please, don't let me enter the darkness of eternal sadness. Don't let me live like a dead person while I bury him with my own hands...

one of my fav pages from a zine i just finished

[raspberryrot]

"In recent years, there has been a rush on the internet to supply image descriptions and to call out those who don’t. This may be an example of community accountability at work, but it’s striking to observe that those doing the most fierce calling out or correcting are sighted people. Such efforts are largely self-defeating. I cannot count the times I’ve stopped reading a video transcript because it started with a dense word picture. Even if a description is short and well done, I often wish there were no description at all. Get to the point, already! How ironic that striving after access can actually create a barrier. When I pointed this out during one of my seminars, a participant made us all laugh by doing a parody: “Mary is wearing a green, blue, and red striped shirt; every fourth stripe also has a purple dot the size of a pea in it, and there are forty-seven stripes—”

“You’re killing me,” I said. “I can’t take any more of that!”

Now serious, she said it was clear to her that none of that stuff about Mary’s clothes mattered, at least if her clothes weren’t the point. What mattered most about the image was that Mary was holding her diploma and smiling. “But,” she wondered, “do I say, Mary has a huge smile on her face as she shows her diploma or Mary has an exuberant smile or showing her teeth in a smile and her eyes are crinkled at the edges?”

It’s simple. Mary has a huge smile on her face is the best one. It’s the don’t-second-guess-yourself option."
