As someone who cannot rlly categorize my creative practice, we been rlly struggling with presenting our many faces :(

Especially with visual art, there are some images I have learnt to guard with my whole heArt.

Now especially as an alchemist, l've been asking myself less what I want from an image, and more: what does the image want? what does it need? what wishes to be revealed, transformed, protected, obscured, or remembered?

Happy Killing of Captain Cook Day!

“On February 14, 1779 Captain James Cook of the british royal navy was killed by natives in Kealakekua Bay, on the Big Island of Hawaii. Cook was a true savage, who sailed across the world bringing murder, rape, disease, and colonialism to native peoples all over the Pacific.

When he was killed, Cook was trying to kidnap the Hawaiian Aliʻi (tribal chief) Kalaniʻōpuʻu in response to an unknown person stealing a small boat. In the process, he had threatened to open fire on the islanders.

At this point, the Hawaiians decided they had enough of Cook’s bullshit, threatened with mass murder and the kidnapping of one of their tribal leaders, the Hawaiian islanders finally gave this piece of shit what he deserved: a beatdown on the beach, and a knife to the chest. This put an end to a lifetime of predatory behavior and conquest of lands in the service to the british empire.
