spoiler alert: chapter thirteen of pep is the begining of the stan healing arc and in the beginning of it, stan throws on his biggest, rattiest boy pajamas, puts his hair back in the standana, plays his emo throwbacks playlist and starts cleaning his entire gross ass house from top to bottom & that's based on true events bc its literally just me every time i clean my room after a major depressive episode

ive been having a lot of fun incorporating embroidery onto paper drawings in school recently (inspired by a printmaking teacher i had once who sometimes stitched her prints, it looked really cool!) but one thing that has kind of been bugging me is how my instructors have been talking about the gendered aspect of it. i know using any form of textile practice in contemporary art is gonna get some kind of thoughts about the historical concept of "women's work" and i dont mind that thats chill thats like normal. its not what, i, the artist, is focusing on personally, but death of the author and all that, as an interpretation its an interesting thing to think about and equally as valid as my intention. also a good topic for essays and such
BUT today my instructor tried to convince me that i can embroider directly on printer paper instead of the thicker papers ive been using and i was like ABSOLUTELY NOT maybe YOU can but I have BIG CLUMSY SWEATY HOT MITTEN HANDS and i Destroy printer paper by looking at it funny. the second a photocopy reaches my skin its already wrinkled. gloves dont help my sweat is too powerful. im CLAMMY leave me ALONE hfkjrwefhjegrfe
and there is an unconcious bias ive been noticing of a lot of very progressively minded artists assuming that i can do this shit delicately. listen. embroidery can be a very delicate and masterful skill that people hone over decades. but not everyone who does it is that skilled master. some of us just like to clumsily sew string through stuff so they can feel the texture. and some of us are really sweaty.

I think it all ties back in a way to me hearing "it doesn't look like it does in my head" and just nodding along confusedly. what do you MEAN by that? WHAT DOES THAT MEEEEEAN?
there is nothing in my head when I'm drawing that is not essentially spoken words or like. noise movement makes. to me when I picture an arm raised up I think about the rustle of fabric and the air reacting to it more than I think about what it looks like in words. even.
like "flap whoosh gesture curl fingers smarmy grin" the only time I have come close to seeing things in my head has been when I did like. 7g of shrooms in one night spaced over a couple hours.
