24 AGNES HATS (1/24)

Agnes de Garron is a performance artist known for her dazzling visual sense. In the course of one performance—which might not last more than five minutes—I have seen her change through what would seem to be more than 30 outfits…pushing and pulling accessories and layers to marvelous transformational effect. A master in the creation of accessories, Agnes started knitting her trademark hats in the 1990s.

I discovered her hats at a gathering of the Radical Faeries in 2008, where she sat on a rocking chair knitting near a shelf displaying her creations. Her pointy, “nippled” hats have become a kind of emblem of this secret society.

The first hat I got, like the model pictured here—which Agnes calls her “Everything” hat—dates from 2008. I love the tendrils which go in all directions. They make me think of antennas that broadcast brainwaves.

And so this 24-day series of Agnes hats takes off. I would like to give special thanks to Goor Studio for their kind assistance with the photos. Flower tee by Only NY. Necklace by Blue Bayer.

The 12th installment of this Agnes de Garron hat series corresponds to today’s 1️⃣2️⃣1️⃣2️⃣ portal. ⛩

The near-year-end portal goes from 12/12 to 12/21/2021, representing a turning point for changes of consciousness and evolution—a gate of energy waves beckoning the joint awakening of the planet and its inhabitants.

This green-vortex hat with a touch of pink complements a meditative state.

I commissioned this Agnes de Garron hat to display a pompom souvenir gifted by painter and sculptor Tom Holmes during one of his exhibitions in the Lower East Side.

When I first saw this Agnes de Garron hat, I felt an air of innocence. Blue and red hearken to my earliest childhood days—my mom combining these colors in her outfits, me noticing the colors around my baby carriage…primaries in combination.

To me, this look gives a Charlie Brown vibe… The fuzziness is comforting, like a blanket.

Moss is one of my favorite things in the world. Whenever there is a large patch, like in a forest or park, I carefully position myself so as not to disturb its soft surface, lie down, and fall asleep… This Agnes de Garron hat evokes the beauty of moss on fertile ground…one with our beautiful Planet Earth, making its transition into the fourth-density vibration.

I remember after my baptism in a tub in the forest, Dominic and Dani present, I lied down on the moss.

O, moss!

Whenever I wear this Agnes de Garron hat, I think of the song “Blue Green” by the Swiss techno-pop group Yello. A fave!

Blue is the only color that hardly ever exists in nature as a pigment—it is usually the result of light with all its other colors filtered. Green is the color of consecration. Faerie-sparkle silver-thread deals the deal—accelerating the antenna-like nature of existence.

Unity is the way of now, counteracting the division of our societal programming.

This Agnes de Garron hat provides a seamless meshing with my beard. The top layer of texture matches my beard color exactly, with hues underneath that mimic the colors of the chakras as they go from red (the root) to purple (the crown).
