The Femquarters
White noise and static has always been on my 'inner TV screen'. It's like a fog that won't go away...frenetically trying to keep up during conversation and losing train of thought half way through, struggling to follow instructions. Reading the same paragraph over and over until the letters and words don't have meaning anymore. The social anxiety that comes with it all. Am I going to look stupid if I do this wrong? Why does everyone else seem to understand what's going on? Gaaaaah I've checked out again, why can't I read this anymore?!? My only reprieve from the fog and the static: art. I am nearly 30 years old, and still I find myself in an almost meditative, hyper-focused, super-trance sitting on the floor in my studio with my scissors and my tulle and my glitter. Only then does the static seem to dissipate, and I am one with my creations.
