I’ve felt like a #ghost for most of my life. 👻 #haunting the #liminalspace that was was already taking over the US before covid. And honestly, as a #cartoonist and previous #latchkeykid, in order to work as an #illustrator I’ve spent much of my life working alone. As a break from my life #workingfromhome And especially once I left NYC I’ve sought solstice in the #abandonedplaces and #hiddenhallways of #hotellobbies #librariesofinstagram #suburbianmalls and #otherpeopleshomes while they are gone at work, watering their plants in exchange or whatever. In #anthropology, #liminality is the quality of #ambiguity or #disorientation that occurs in the #middlestage of a #riteofpassage, when participants no longer hold their #preritual status but have not yet begun the #transition to the status they will hold when the rite is complete. I feel most at home in the #artdeco #blackandwhitephotos and #musicfromthe1920s than I’ve ever felt anywhere in modern reality. Not where I was born in Idaho and I’ve traveled the world and moved 60 times on all corners of the US trying to find my home. LA, NYC, Portland, Rhode Island, And definitely not from the Deep South where I currently reside. But I do live in a constant state of #anemoia : nostalgia for a place and time you have never known. @damedarcy (at Nowhere Land) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD6Dg_oD0nA/?igshid=38acha0u2t7y
