I dig the way you look at things. It’s easy to get caught up in the huge terrible things out there or that happen to us, and it might be silly but the little pleasures are what life’s all about. I see a horse it’s a good day.

Idk about a lovely person but I try haha. You’re seem pretty cool yourself. Definitely an interesting person!

Honestly as miserable as things have been I’m so lucky. I got treatment and had support and have never been a shocking or unusual case. Never been so grateful for mediocrity haha. Being able to come out the other side intact is basically winning a lottery.

It’s definitely influenced the things I make though! A definite focus on motifs involving bodies, decay, reclamation of nature, and detachment from the self. Love surrealist landscapes and cronenberg style distortion of a human form. Classical ballet in particular really fucks with me. Graceful and gory and so many opposites meeting up in a human body.

Been dreaming up a quilted Frankenstein coat made from sashiko shapes but it’s gonna take another six months just to collect the scraps in the colourway planned. Gonna be all sorts of shades of green, brown and purple like the leaf layer under a tree.

I went for dead cause tbh being 100 sounds like a nightmare. I wanna go when my hands or mind get weak.

It’s pretty nice to imagine a bunch of grandkids and great grandkids though. Some parts of getting old seem like a blast.
