Cactus and sage for the ask game!! 🌵🌿

cactus ⇢ something you’re currently learning (about)?

Norman-era English history

sage ⇢ what ‘medium’ of art (poetry, music, fiction, paintings, statues etc.) is the most touching to you? why do you think that is?

This is impossible. No art is most touching to me. They’re all equally touching. I will say that my medium of preference is writing in terms of what I put effort into and what I give as a finished product to others. I enjoy drawing as a hobby that relaxes me—but it’s for me, not others. But I LOOOOOVE looking at other people’s art—paintings, photos, fanart, sculpture etc. Serialized narrative media in general (book series, TV, podcasts) is my passion. I spent many years as an actress and performer and still appreciate a good performance, but I got tired of my body being my actual literal business and feeling like I had to ask other people permission for how I was allowed to look. I think acting is a truly fulfilling art form when one is allowed to just perform. It’s beautifully collaborative and it teaches truths about humanity. But it also allows you to hide in the fictional person you’re being. I avoided processing trauma for years, because I never had to confront my real problems when I could instead use them to bring other people to life. I really respect actors. It’s such a difficult life in a way that people who haven’t done it will never understand. You spend so little time feeling your own emotions or controlling your own body. It’s no surprise to me that so many actors develop serious substance problems or eating disorders or crazy plastic surgery or other issues. When you can’t do the work internally it’s easy to look for external solutions. And you have to do all of that while people feel entitled to your body and time and effort. And yet, when you melt into a character, it’s magical in a way that’s unique to that experience. And when someone performs so well you forget it’s all a performance? It’s transcendent. It’s ephemeral and only exists as long as you’re looking at it, and then it’s gone. Especially on stage. What an amazing thing humans have done by developing an entire art that by its nature is built in front of you every time and then have it disappear.

I’m also a huge fan of practical arts — woodwork, knitting, crochet, embroidery, fashion and design, etc. I love the idea of making something that lasts and gets use. I love that every time I sit at a table, I can think about the human being who learned the art of carving it and assembling it. I like that someone can put art on a piece of fabric and suddenly it becomes beautiful to look at and a comfortable throw pillow. I love that someone can knit a blanket that will delight my eyes and keep me cozy on movie night.

And there’s so many other forms of art that I haven’t even been able to address here.

Art is magic. Every form. What’s the point of asking what kind of magic is most magical? It’s all fantastic and important.
