An embroidery of the Wikipedia page for embroidery.

I made a bunch of geometric knights and that was fun to play with them ✨

I haven’t realise before that I was a lazy girl who only draw tired people with closed eyes hehehe

Maybe I’ll make more of them someday, I haven’t make a  octogonal one yet! 

[Image Description: a series of geometric black and white drawings of knights. the first is a triangle. the knight is thin with long light hair and a solemn expression. she is holding her arm above her, bent, as she stabs her sword into the ground in front of her. she is kneeling. one is another kneeling knight with long light hair looking solemn with her arms bent above and below around a sword. the next knight has a short black bob and is kneeling behind a long shield. the next has a short dark bowlcut and is looking seriously forward. she is unsheathing a sword above her head. the last one is another knight with long light hair. she is sitting against a wall and unsheathing a sword between her knees.

thinking about the robot arm cleaning up fluid modern art piece again. like imo i'm hesitant to just say people's interpretation was wrong, but its more like one particular unintended and also worse and notably de-racialized reading went omega viral and completely dominated the conception of the piece for everyone online.

like, ok, i want to be charitable and say that there is obvious imagery here of an animal trying to pull its vital organs back into its body, and if you don't get the very specific political context from the wall label then i can imagine reading some kind of addiction/depression parable into it, but to then go online and say "this is a robot that was programmed to constantly leak a fluid vital to its survival and try to sweep it back into its body in a futile effort to keep itself alive as a metaphor for Wage Slavery" is actually just disinformation, i think. contemporary/conceptual art often relies on implied context, and losing that in translation is less an "individual interpretation" and more like you're actually taking part of the piece out of view.

For those who are unfamiliar, this is Can't Help Myself by Sun Yuan and Peng Yu. The relevant part from the Guggenheim's description of the piece is:

I love this piece. I was instantly compelled by it, so much so that I wrote about it for an art class. It initially resonated with me on a personal, mental health level - in my case, OCD - as it has for others seeing it on social media. However, it's absolutely incomplete without the political context. The message about border control is, in my opinion, much more interesting and thought-provoking because it is less obvious. I'm glad that people have that initial mental health connection with the Can't Help Myself - I think it only adds to the message of criticizing border control that we relate to the robot. It makes us examine how we help enforce surveillance and nationalism in our own lives. But people are being deprived of that deeper message when it's shared without context.

Not my usual style I post here, but I hope you guys might dig this

From 2021-late 2022, during the height of the N/F/T craze, I embarked on an incredibly useless quest to hand paint a series of pieces mocking and parodying N/F/T’s— over 100 miniature 4x4 inch canvases featuring near-identical skull line art, with as much variation in the backgrounds and palettes as I could manage to think of.

The different design traits and background types were meant to evoke the mix-and-match nature of N/F/T’s, except instead of paying for useless intangible digital bullshit you actually got to own the physical thing, each one numbered with its place in the series. It was kind of supposed to be a performance art piece too, turning myself into basically a human factory cranking these things out.

Um. I have no idea if this project was even worth my time whatsoever. I basically drove myself fucking insane holing myself up in my room alone working on all these 24/7. Neat looking at them all in one place though.

I posted a video of me drawing this, and here's the entire process! I filmed it as kind of a promo video for an event in September where I'm going to give a mini-workshop

And as promised pictures of the print itself:
