Enchanted Deer 🦌 ✨️

My latest painting, inspired by ‘living fossil’ species! While not an exact scientific term, these are species which highly closely resemble ancient ancestors in the fossil record. I considered other iconic ancient species like the coelacanth and hoatzin, but settled on this composition. Even the plants are living fossils!

My studio is getting crowded with works!

happy Thursday the 20th

i think it’s that my mother started reading the Song of Achilles, and told me she didn’t realise it was about… you know… that they were gay, and then didn’t finish it. i think it’s that my mother still introduces me as her daughter. i think it’s that my mother has never called me by my real name, only a neutral nickname she can derive from it. people mishear her, and think im called Jane. i think I would’ve been a good Jane. a violent one. i think it’s that my mother has a “gay bestie” and i think it’s that she screamed at me in the car when my teacher told her she’d seen me walking around school holding hands with a girl. i think it’s how she used to drive us around in the car, and tell us she didn’t care what we were, gay, straight, or purple, as long as we were happy. i think it’s about returning to the well and finding it still full of all the wishes I’d made as a child, and realising they were only ever copper.

With each passing day, I appreciate animated Katara more and more
