Work in progress. A series of 4 poster designs, using old tv signal test cards as template. Knowing when to stop was my only real problem. A mish-mash of text and images, bound by the colourful and blocky, pixellated look of the testcard backgrounds seemed to be a good way to allow in chaos and density, while still keeping the message clear in the centre of the design and a zoomable plethora of options to view, radiating out from the centre to the edges. Trying to be impactful and eye-catching and getting the balance right between substance and space.

I really hope they offend those that should be offended, those who can’t look, those who won’t look, those that don’t dare to question, those that won’t acknowledge a problem, those that want to see “evidence of outrageous claims”, those that are grateful that others are doing the work, those that are silent when they should be speaking, those that turn themselves into propaganda puppets and handmaidens in service to this abhorrent ideological pseudo-scientific child abusing cult. WAKE UP NOW & Please make it stop.
My sense is that we lay people have to invent the alternate therapy. I do modified Feldenkrais physical therapy moves, self-invented, and make sure to walk 3-4 miles a day at a good pace. Gardening and butterfly watching, cooking/baking healthy at home, round out the routine.
I saw the "androgynous 1990s" and was pressured to submit to "alternative sex" routines when my husband "transitioned."
I know my body and refused. The internet is too dominant in the younger generation's lives. I had the joy of finding wildflowers, Columbine, grown from seeds I collected and strewed about in my woods, just today. There's a good sized clump, 10 plants or so. I found out they are poisonous, so the deer won't eat them. I don't eat them--no problem. Looking forward to flowers in the spring.
