6, 8, 21, 28, 45 🥰🥰🥰

O glorious bounty! Thank you!

6. What do you use to keep your place when you're reading a book?

I actually have genre-themed bookmarks like a unicorn one for fantasy and an astronomy one for sci-fi and a gashlycrumb tinies one for horror etc. I have soooo many bookmarks

8. Do you collect anything? If so, what?

Horror anthologies, especially themed ones like I have a book of bird stories, a book of deep sea stories, a book of doll stories (pride of place). Cabinet of curiosity type stuff like bones, minerals/gems, insects, shells etc but in an extremely non-organized Vibes way. Different blends of tea, which is less of a collection and more of a tasting journal type thing. I say as I eye my tea cupboard which desperately needs clearing out.

21. What’s your favorite period in art history, your favorite famous work and/or your favorite style of art? If you don’t know any that’s ok!

Artistic period: Pre-Raphaelite.

Famous work: John William Waterhouse's Circe Invidiosa.

Favorite style of art: Big bold sprawling installations, pop surrealism, contemporary sculpture esp porcelain, thick ass impasto (I call this antipasto to annoy my friends with BFAs), works incorporating taxidermy, a type of gothic/organic structural aesthetic I cannot describe except to use Valerie Hegarty as a specific example.

28. Can you swim very well? Do you like swimming?

No and somewhat! I spend a lot of time at the pool in the summer but it is like 1/3 paddling around/floating 2/3 day drinking and reading trashy thrillers and being unable to achieve a tan.

45. What’s the last thing a friend recommended to you that you looked into and actually liked?

Legend of Anle! I can't believe I'm into a heterosexual romance but this beautiful idiot definitely gets pegged by this badass smirking pirate lady! Thank you @lena221bee!

Woman in White by Valerie Hegarty.

Whilst researching themes of decay in artwork, I found this haunting piece by Valerie Hegarty. I loved how it's both morbid and beautiful at the same time, and it inspired me to look into ways in which I could make my own artwork decay intentionally.
