there is a woman who is half-elegant with green hair here
and then I cannot think anymore
for things stop inside of me
and I am falling but I don’t know towards who so I fall towards anyone who is willing to
stand in the way
and then random boys who

jeg tenkte nettopp at joda, jeg skal ta kontakt med en person jeg egentlig... ikke burde ta kontakt med. jeg vet ikke hvor lurt det var.
og hva slags ting tenker jeg paa i disse dager? om jeg skriver det paa en blogg klarer jeg kanskje aa artikulere det, tror jeg, det er en slags workbook, men jeg skriver ikke ut noe.
statement scribbles:
Weaving, language,
intimacy, packaging, wrapping: letters, gifts, individual gifts to the viewer in separate envelopes
can we make another skin? can we etch patterns into people that were not previously there, and dictate where they go, and what they look like? or superimpose a new language?
individual pieces, individual threads forming a larger cloth, wrapping around the body, the face, the mouth. anonymous labour, invisible labour: dedicate a lot of time to making something which will not be noticed, or which is expendable, like a hand-woven and -dyed surgical mask, expendable and meant to be discarded after use. or a simple piece of paper, slightly frayed at the edges, but beaded intricately and worked on for hours and hours. small things, and small movements.
intimacy, packaging, receiving something or viewing something only for oneself, so when you view it, the work is meant for just you, it is meant to be seen by just you.
translation; my brother’s music into a medium I can understand, wanting to use my own language to express him? to translate into mine.
collective and individual memory, investigation
processing collective trauma?
collective unconscious? hmm, sounds too avant-garde, haha
collective memory, blanks, banks? bank of collective memory
memory of cloth: jordyn-linen, what memory is retained in cloth? how much does it remember? do-ho suh, lee kit.
linen, also masks: memory of the people wearing them;
send a mask to a person, ask to have a photograph of them wearing it, then send me that and something else, something of their memory of it, can be a photograph? shells and husks from bugs; weave-memory of the body, clothes we take off retain our memories.
masks, discarded? no, used, gifts, send: make a uniform package and type up a letter (service bureau print? or matte printers?) to:
[[ names excluded
privacy still matters ]]
historical consciousness
collective memory
memory
photographs: how do we look back, how do we perform nostalgia?
lines of time/memory, languages
abstracted languages, memory retained in features: faces both beaded and lined
