@ every single trans/genderfluid/bigender/non-binary/agender teen that isnt safe coming out to their family: i love you, i am proud of you, you are made of all the good things in the universe, and you are going to rock it every day. i am rooting for you all the way, every day. go out there and kill it. i believe in you.

So here’s Raccoon on stage talking about getting involved in furries and giving a very quick, general overview of furry in at least a few aspects.

Tried to minimize rambling, but when my slideshow didn’t work I lost all structure.

Same night as this photo.

Shoulda posted it here first, but a friend of mine has included my performance character Raccoon in her coloring book project!

Oh my goodness I’m in a coloring book!

Stuff I sewed this weekend.

- Handbag with a too small opening I made from an embroidered scrap of dress a sewing friend gave me

-almost sheer linen skirt from a matching pair of embroidered/appliqued tablecloths and napkins

-Skirt cut from a long dress with embroidered doily-thing cut in half and added as pockets

My work explores the contradictions between the impulse to destroy and the compulsion to mend. I juxtapose rapid acts of destruction, such as spilling and cutting, with painstaking, restorative labor. Embroideries are hand-stitched over stains and rips, contrasting the accidental with the meticulous, constructing narrative from randomness and mistake. The initial marks are found on linens or are created by cutting and staining canvas. The work scrambles expressions of aggression with masochistic patience and sublimation and plays with the feminine through the graphic form of the “stain” and the adding of peek-a-boo, lace inlays to repair cut holes that expose the hidden space behind the canvas. Shadows on the wall add a sculptural dimension and some pieces are hung off the wall to reveal the secret and unintended marks of the verso. Thanks Rhumboogie
