Deer Witch Nyx

: @illmarks edition

I've spent the last year visualizing Long Covid. Not all of my favorite pieces work well in square crop, so please check out the fedi account above or illmarks.com !

Thank you so much for receiving & sharing my work--it means so much to me as this project continues to feel deeply important.

9 images collaged in 3x3. they are all straight-on views of a figure on manilla paper, with a printed silhouette of a human. They've been brightly adorned with ink to show a variety of physical and emotional ailments that the patient experiences. In the center is a smiling mirror selfie of a person with sideshaves and dangly earrings, compression gloves, and an asymmetrical black punk top. From top left zigzagging to bottom right like reading, the images show muscles of a person from behind with hooks in their neck and shoulder. a vibrant yellow green and orange figure made up of bubbling mucuous and nausea. a skeleton with chains attatched to their joints. a black silhouette in a tossing ocean. a sheet ghost figure waring a mask surrounded by cartoons of grinning socializing humans with viruses. a figure wrapped in thick restraining bandages. a figure that looks like they're coated in skin burns in red orange and magenta radiating heat. lime green and purple squiggles in the torso and dilated eyes.

@moss I appreciate your commitment to depicting what is true. The artist is the one who sees, and doesn't turn away from the ugly bits. Like a scientist. Both contribute to making a better world. 🙏❤
