It’s obvious by her amazing art that Cristy is an incredible illustrator. She has such a distinct style that’s both real and wild. But I often forget what a profound writer she is. I never thought I’d be underlining passages in a graphic novel, but then there I was on the B65 bus clutching my purple pen marking this, “Casual homophobia. It’s the social acceptance of gay jokes, slurs, and homophobic remarks when in the presence of a feminine man or a masculine woman. I saw it as a side effect of money and power destroying spirituality.” (via Book Review and Excerpt: Cristy C. Road’s Spit and Passion)

Gone. Silkscreened pillow with sewing pins. 10”x10”. October 2012.

This piece is a sort of sister project to my thesis installation—small, intimate objects that convey feelings of loss, frustration, and eventually moving on. The text is writing that I’ve been holding onto, reading, and reusing for over a year now regarding intimate relationships and experiences that I’m just starting to let go of. The pins fragment, distort, and destroy the words. They disappear and while the viewer wants to get to (touch) them, they risk hurting themselves in the process. Maybe it’s time to move on.

“Cat Ruka (Ngapuhi, Waitaha) b. Auckland 1983 is an award-winning emerging independent performance artist and dance critic/researcher based in Auckland, New Zealand. Cat uses her artistry to innovatively unravel the presence of her body, and what it means to have this body in the current political, social, and economic climates of a globalized world. Among other things, this includes investigating the point at which her indigenous and colonial bloodlines meet each other in an age of cultural complexities.” (from Manukau Institute of Technology)

Kate Just … is known for her diverse practice encompassing large-scale sculptural knitted work, mixed-media installation, collage and digital print. In earlier works, Just drew on myth and folklore linking women and nature to create elaborate, knitted figures and environments which metaphorically explored her own autobiographical experiences.In more recent work, Just mines archaeology, art history, and symbology to create installations of mysterious tools and objects which explore women’s ongoing link to the spaces of and around the body. via Daine Singer / Kate Just

Beth Frey, Fuck Patriarchy, 2012.

Well, it’s finally done. I’m thinking of perhaps turning it into a t-shirt or something (maybe a t-shirt with sparkles?). Trying to figure how one would go about doing such a thing.

furry tales on a stick from the little art series 2008- 2010. Beata Batorowicz.

Once upon a time, far, far, close, my parents read to me children stories by the popular Polish author, Jan Brzechwa. It was the animal characters from these stories… the owl, the fox, the goat… that had enchanted me. Along with my fur coat, i packed these tales into my suitcase, and began a new life as a small immigrant. Many years later, i travelled to several forests of learning, where i was told stories about Big Art and little art. i liked the little art… The Big Art has its place and time. Yet sometimes, the little art means more, speaks more and can be shared more easily. Sometimes it can be like play… Although, i understand that the art of play should be taken seriously and be handled with caution. (via little art - BEATA BATOROWICZ)
