I finally finished my Magnus Archives curio collection shadowbox piece! I imagine this as a piece Jonah Magnus or Smirke would have made when they were studying or classifying the Entities, or something Gertrude might have hung in her office. I've been collecting and making these items for a while waiting to get them just right.

Contents:

Top row left to right:

The Stranger: doll head with clown makeup, vial of human skin (real, and ethically sourced--it's my own, a callus that came off on its own. Yes gross, but it fits).

The Hunt: various carnivore teeth

The Eye: prosthetic eye, and representations of eyes from various cultures

The Web: A spider, and silk web extending over the others, I wanted to use red threads as a reference to the red string on a classic "conspiracy wall"

The Spiral: a door charm, an ammonite fossil with fibonacci spiral, and a clock spring arrayed overtop.

The Corruption: wasp nest piece and "worms" handmade from pieces of cicada shells and painted.

The Vast: fulgurite (stone made when lightning strikes sand), and bottle containing a small meteorite, plus some obsidian stars

Bottom Row:

The Slaughter: shell casings from types of bullets used in war and by police

The Dark: tiny dive helmet, the inside of the section is painted with the "blackest black"paint, hand sculpted polymer clay tentacles (also painted with the blackest black) emerge from the darkness to threaten the helmet.

The Desolation: spent matches burned to the base, when you let it go too long and burn your fingers trying to hold them. Dripped into the back is red sealing wax which caught fire instead of melting properly and smoked up my workspace (I probably should have done that part outside...I did not)

The Buried: doll hand emerging from soil that I collected from the woods near an old cemetery

The Flesh: Vial of meat (it's biltong, so it's dried but looks more meat-like than jerky does), several pathologic snake rib bones where the snake was injured but healed with the bones in a strange position-- one looks twisted.

The Lonely: old photo of a group all facing the viewer with their faces carefully scratched away

The End: clock faces, gaming die, bone chess piece, and a carved skull.

Today is trans remembrance day. For all our fallen trans brothers, sisters, and siblings, we keep going today. Know that you have a place in this world. You belong here because this world is yours just as much as anyone else's. You are wanted, loved, and appreciated, whether it be by your closest friends, or by a stranger online. There is at least one person on this planet who genuinely cares about what happens to you, whether or not you know it. Your life matters, and I'm so proud of you for still being here, despite the countless hardships you've faced. Please, keep going today. I believe in you. I support you. I'm proud of you.

Never not thinking about the trans woman I met in a gay bar in a town I'll never go back to who said "gender roles are like chains, fun to use in bondage scenarios but largely irrelevant in daily life"

but seriously Fellas, don't forget to schedule a pap smear every couple of years just in case. If you still have a cervix you can still get cervical cancer. ilu
