GENDER TROUBLEMAKERS (1993) dir. Mirha-Soleil Ross & Xanthra Mackay What happens when two Transdykes get sick of non-transsexual's uninformed representation of their sexualities and their lives? They grab their 8 millimeter home video camera, their last 200 bucks, and come up with an uncompromising in-your-face flick about their shitty relationships with gay men and their unabashed attraction to other trans women.

thought I should post my other not-a-deer piece!

explanation/rambling below

apparently I never took a picture of this piece when it was glazed. sigh. the green turned out nice and dark.

pardon the shaky camera, this was pretty early in my 'learning how to take nice pictures and videos' lol.

this weird little vase was inspired by Black Mountain Side. it's not a great movie imo, but it really stuck with me for some reason. me and my spouse love bad horror movies so I've seen a lot of them. this one's sort of like the Thing, it's a group of researchers isolated up north and it's gory. but instead of a shapeshifting alien, it's more like an ancient god. at first they just hear it, and then they start to see it, and it looks like a deer, or deer-like. it makes them hurt/kill each other and themselves, but it's slow to infect them at first and some succumb faster than others.

I chose to carve a deer in-between each half of the quotes and one of them appears to be much closer than the other, which I thought was a slightly creepy effect as the vase is spun. I like the last line being on the bottom of the vase too. for once I didn't make a sketch for this piece, I just sort of went for it. it's not my favourite piece technique-wise, but I really like it conceptually. I was tempted to keep it, but a friend of mine liked it so it has a new home

this quote is from the deer god speaking to one of the men: "When an animal looks up at the night sky, what does it see? Thousands and thousands of tiny points. Then a man looks up at the same points and sees millions of stars, galaxies within which are billions of planets. ...Do you want to know what I see?"

the idea that there's so much out there that we can never comprehend is oddly comforting to me? probably not supposed to be my takeaway here. anyway. the movie isn't terrifying, but it is gory and I enjoyed it.
