Experimenting with a new technique ~ oxidizing my Experimenting with a new technique ~ oxidizing my #Copperleaf #allcoppereverything U can see the process on my #Temperance tarot tapestry oil painting 🎨 by swiping. Even after sealing the piece, it’s still changing (probably due to weather/humidity)-which is very exciting. The process forces me to give up control and let the painting do what it wants. My intention was to achieve a bluish/green oxidized color to represent the light & color of #Uranus 🌬 [ #♒️ #aquarius ]. Almost finished. #wip Planets + astrology & their corresponding metals/colors are vital to my work. I’ve been researching this project for 10+ years. 😶 My cup runneth over! 🍹 ……………………………………………Zzzzz #tarotcards #tarot #tarotreading #tarotpainting #cu #copper #chemistrypainting #oxidizedcopper

I don’t have a large platform or much influence- I don’t have a large platform or much influence- but I wish to clearly show my support. For other white people: a line is drawn in the sand. Silence or pretending nothing is happening is a choice. This is our fight, too. We are interconnected-what we do to our brothers & sisters we do to ourselves. We (white people, white women, white feminists) must stand up for Black people who are being murdered and use whatever influence we have. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ‘My silences had not protected me. Your silence will not protect you. But for every real word spoken, for every attempt I had ever made to speak those truths for which I am still seeking, I had made contact with other women while we examined the words to fit a world in which we all believed, bridging our differences.’ ~Audre Lorde •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• For the duration of highschool, I lived with my Aunt & Uncle in a suburb between Minneapolis & St. Paul. The Philando Castile murder upset me, but I did nothing-I saw people around me doing nothing-and so I thought it wasn’t my place, my fight. This whole post may seem obvious to most people, but I think it’s necessary to be direct and open. I have a lot to learn & unlearn. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Donate to the following places: @thelovelandfoundation @campaignzero @nyc_covid_mutualaid @emergency_release_fund @mvmnt4blklives @weact4ej @blackvisionscollective @blklivesmatter @splcenter @colorofchange @sachr_nyc •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• (I don’t support the following hashtags.) #NRA #bluelivesmatter #bluelivesmatter💙 #trump2020 #trump #trump2020🇺🇸 #policeofficer #policefitness #policefitnessnutrition #womenfortrump #womenfortrump2020 #womenfortrump❤️🇺🇸 #bleedblue #bleedblue💙 #secondamendment #buildthewall #policepics #policefamily #thoughtsandprayers #makeamericagreatagain #keepamericagreat #keepamericagreat2020 #serveandprotect

What led me to my Faint Drawing Experiments::::::: What led me to my Faint Drawing Experiments::::::: At the doctor’s office, getting blood drawn; I fainted, lying down, convulsed for 30 seconds before waking up to strange faces looking at me while holding me down. I couldn’t remember who I was. —————————————— #faintdrawing #faintvisions #crystaldyer #vasovagal Faint Drawing Folder 2011 Ink & Graphite on paper, photographs, bandaid. Dimensions variable.
Falling back to a project I did many moons ago. #F Falling back to a project I did many moons ago. #FaintDrawing I recorded the gesture of my own unconscious fall, using graphite powder on my head. I have #vasovagal syncope episodes when I see blood, usually when I have blood drawn. Initially, these fainting spells were sparked by a traumatic event in my childhood when I watched my mother have a blood transfusion. I am very afraid of fainting, but there is a strange, almost guilty pleasure I take from it. The act of fainting for me is a way to escape. When I faint, I have fainting dreams or visions. Many times these dreams are frightening and usually deal with my memory, forgetting who I am or what I should be doing. ———————————————- #crystaldyer #faintvisions #performanceart #conceptualart 16mm transferred to video.
