No joke, I think about the day I see the bad news about Alan Alda. It started out with MASH being a source of comfort at a certain point in my life. The more I read about him, the more I grew to love and respect him for all of the great things he has championed throughout the years. I read his autobiographies, and he's just precious and super inspiring. Love that guy to bits.

(Oops, I linked to the series this is a part of but the post got removed so I've pm'd you a link to the rest of the pieces).

Thank you so much! I try to make things that push me out of my comfort zone. I want to confront the insecurities and anxieties I have, and that hurts, but it's cathartic.

This is from a series about my struggle with mental illness. I have schizoaffective disorder and a bunch of anxiety and depressive diagnoses that makes living quite a challenge. I'm trying to find myself behind all of the clutter and noise in my head, and it's often very violent and distressful. I create these figures as representations of my illness and punish them so I don't have to punish myself. I don't know if that makes any sense, but it's difficult to explain. I do sometimes get messages from people who struggle like me that says that they can relate to my pieces. That's the biggest compliment and tragedy all at once.

Uuuh, I like that very much! Thanks for the tip!

They are from an old bog in the center of Odense, Denmark, so ancient stuff. They have a story to tell, I feel. Thank you very much for taking a look!

Thank you! I'm a climate single-issue voter so I definitely appreciate this interpretation!

Thank you very much!

Thank you so much! That means a lot to me. I had to go through some things that in turn gave me a voice. I try to be as honest and blunt with myself as I can. I want it to be uncomfortable. That means you're digging into something real. I'll keep digging for sure. Thank you!

Thank you very much!
