Project 4/52: Zine Inspired by Goddess Inanna
"The workshops, the practice of creating these collages, and the zine itself, connected me to the descent/underworld aspect of Inanna’s story. That’s where I am right now. Under the ground, in the dark, a lil seed that hasn’t bloomed yet. It can be terrifying to get on one’s knees and let the pain be. But right now it feels that this is what needs to happen, and this is where I need to be. In my underworld, disarmed, messy, complicated. This feels freeing, since I’ve been running from this place for a long time." x
Project 2/52: Experimenting with Collage
Project #3: Nature and Images (for psyche)
I’m obsessed with rubber stamps, and I have a plastic bin filled with ones I’ve collected over the past five years. My favorite ones are: a heart, a fish, a patterned square, a ‘thank you’, and a lil cloud. I go back and forth with the leaves and tiny trees. I use them on zines, notebooks and planne
Ever since I read 52 Projects, by Jeffrey Yamaguchi, I’ve wanted to embark on a creative ritual that I commit to doing weekly and consistently for up to a year (a project per week). I’ve wanted to do this since I read the book around 2006 and its now 2/21, and I’m finally doing it :))
I’m treating this as an experiment and I fully expect that I will tweak things and figure out better ways as I go. Feel free to subscribe and follow along <3

I tried block printing :))
This one started an assignment for school, and grew into a reflection of "The Red Shoes" (as told by Clarissa Pinkola Estés), dismemberment, creativity, anima/animus, and the intention to craft a life of my own doing.
This print and short poem were created as an assignment for my class on technology & psyche. The task was to flip through our book, Psy
"As I carved and I forgot limbs and thought of “The Red Shoes”, I reflected on pieces of the story. Of feet symbolizing a basic sense of mobility and freedom, and red symbolizing both aliveness and loss of life (Estés 1995). How dismemberment in this tale is a metaphor for the loss of creativity and joy, and the danger women face every day in their life, to remain connected to the lives of their own making. The handmade shoes our protagonist starts with were created by her own ingenuity, and spoke of her inherent creativity and resourcefulness. In this tale the old woman doesn’t represent the crone archetype of wise old woman that lends insight and support, but rather the elder bent on tradition, the one that has assimilated to the collective’s status quo to her own detriment and loss of freedom.
As the old woman of the story assimilates the little girl into a world where she must stand straight, and not skip or fall out of line, she robs her of her inner joy and spark. And what happens when we disconnect from the thing that makes us feel alive? We start to attach to anything that makes us feel anything. As Estes (1995) puts it, “Like all captured creatures, we fall into a sadness that leads to an obsessive yearning, often characterized in my practice as “the restlessness with no name” (p.227). She later adds that it’s important to be discerning of what it is that we’re taking on when it seems easy or trouble-free, “especially if, in exchange, we are asked to surrender our personal creative joy to a cremating fire rather than an enklinding one of our own making” (Estes 1995, p. 227)."
