something a bit different... i've been enjoying curating images to use in pinboards for my design work, so this was a sort of natural progression of it. i was also specifically inspired by the hand crushed by a mallet (remix) music video by Darío Alva & Weston Allen for 100 gecs.

i'm thinking amorphously about the body, commodification of the body, medicine, biology, science as spirituality, and that sort of thing. this was a fun way to express how my "science" brain talks to my "art" brain, which are actually just the same "brain" as science and art as entities are more similar than most people think (since both are about finding understanding in yourself/your surroundings; both are equally fucked under capitalism; etc). it's nice to remember i have a background as a biomedical scientist even though my odds of finding any related jobs are at an all time low!! anyway i might keep doing this kind of art on the side

more stuff coming soon <3
