"Across Lifetimes Untold, We Still Say Hello"
This piece is inspired by a petroglyph in Peterborough, Ontario, c. 900-1100 CE. The First Nations people call them Kinomagewapkong, "The Teaching Rocks". To the Anishinaabe, the rock site is sacred, an area where spirits and the corporeal can meet. This figure really sticks out, scholars believe the top of their head is the Sun.
How the sun's light reflects upon the moon shining across our faces as we look up and connect, 2024.

"Hypnagogic Gender Studies Moo-cow"
Mixed media, 2023. Inspired by the hypnagogic work of Salvador Dali, I decided to try my hand at sketching hypnagogic visions. These creatures came to me and made any point they had somewhat clear, what with their striking features. Dali used keys he'd drop on a loud saucer once he fell a sleep, but I just relied on my dog Günther to wake me.
Your art is really cool and I love seeing it pop up while I'm scrolling 💜
You're so kind! Thank you 🥺😁

Palestinians kept the keys to their homes when they were forced into exile in 1948, the beginning of the Nakba that continues to this very day. The child clutches to the key, it illuminates a call for peace in a chaos of war, for all war's farce and spectation. That missile is the one signed by former US ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, she signed off with a "Finish Them!" and "America ♥️ Israel". The graves are of Arlington, still fresh from one field to another. The twins are Benjamins. The countless-dead memorial markers are Covid deaths.
"Explosions Scare You, Do They?"
"Swamp Thang"
Mixed media collage, 2024.
Finally have a dedicated side blog for my art @izzyimpart <3
I'd greatly appreciate any mutuals who like my work to give it a follow. Honestly, I'm just happy to have another archival space that isn't just Instagram.
Thanks for looking at my work ^_^
I've never vented about art struggles before last night, and I actually got encouragement.
This blog's doin' me pretty great, thanks y'all :)
