great list!!!

Gentle reminder for myself and my fellow chronically ill, disabled, and neurodivergent creatives:

It's okay to create art at your own pace. Even really slowly.

Our bodies and brains work differently, and we need to give ourselves grace. I know it's hard to accept that, I struggle with it, too. ❤️

1) Critical and artistic dress practices in material/visual culture---19th to mid-20th C.
2) Patterns that resonate across disciplinary boundaries (ie: right now I'm obsessed by 'circular' forms in art/science/semiotics).

I couldn't agree more----and have found myself similarly absorbed in the contemplative care/art/history/culture so evident in pieces like this.

I didn't know I was autistic when I was going through Perimenopause over a decade ago......I really wish I had known! Hindsight is 20/20 I guess. :)
