Küçük ama önemli kalp dokunuşları... Doğal kamera arkası... İnsan aşık olduğu mesleği yapınca herşeyi unutuyor....

The Persistence of Memory Digital transfers of vintage photographs (1976) on doilies (1986) installed on a black chadar (veil) belonging to the artist’s late mother. 2022

Borrowing from Salvador Dali’s surrealist ideas around space, time and memory, Mariam Magsi creates a series of digital photo transfers onto doilies. Doilies are ornamental mats, usually in varying shades of white, made of lace, fabric or paper with a lace pattern, typically placed on a plate under cakes or other sweet foods and savoury pastries. The word doily comes from Doiley, the last name of a reputable and well-known Londoner, who dealt with dry food trades in the 17th century. The texture of the doilies bleeds into the image, merging with the texture of the vintage, analogue photographs, printed in Lahore, Pakistan back in 1976. The photograph portrays a wedding banquet in Punjab featuring the maternal family of the artist. The bride and groom are seated, partaking in rituals and customs conducive to marriage. A young child proceeds to present a glass of milk to the groom first.

The generation featured inherited a brand new country and identity, unprocessed and unimaginably violent trauma, fuelled by nationalism, along with pressures to preserve culture, prevent erasure, and always, at all costs, perform hospitality, so as to avoid being perceived as a failed citizen. This photograph was made 29 years after Pakistan was formed, in a violent partition with India, puppeteered by the British in collaboration with the Indian subcontinent’s political elite. Only 6 years before this banquet was recorded, Bangladesh declared its independence from Pakistan in 1971. A tear in the photograph transfers onto the doily, echoing gaps in history. The doily is taken out of its original function and serves as a spherical light-box illuminating the otherwise fading black and white photograph. Due to the dark nature of the chadar (veil) upon which the work lies, it is not clear if the doily is on the ground, installed on the wall, or presented on a table. 

The Persistence of Memory was commissioned by the Dawat Yan Banquet with support from the AGOxRBC Artists in Residence Program, 2022.

the screencaps that inspired these doodles

moonrise (2015) by phyllis shafer vs. landscape from saint-rémy (1889) by vincent van gogh. kind of obsessed with how they bleed into each other side by side

AU where Leo is trapped in the Prison Dimension for months instead of minutes and the only way he gets by with his sanity intact is through recording himself talking to his wrist comm.

When they finally manage to get Leo back and make him rest up to heal, Donnie can’t help but listen to the recordings left behind.

He’s not sure what exactly he’s expecting, only that his subconscious is screaming at him that it has to be heartbreaking, that it has to be torturous.

Instead, what Donnie is subject to is a full thousand hours’ worth of Jupiter Jim and Lou Jitsu crossover fanfiction. More than one part in the series. Spanning well over a million words.

(The worst part is that it’s actually good.)

worst way to start my new year, thanks. i have a lot of things to say about these companies but i'm tired and just keeping it focused to the pin side of things for this one. do not ever buy pins from these companies, literally ALL of them are stolen from small artists like me. if you want to buy enamel pins, check out etsy, and artist's personal websites and shops! (though even Etsy has some bootleg pins that ship straight from china, so tread carefully…)

Every pin I've designed is, thus far, EXCLUSIVE to my etsy. if you find it anywhere else, it's been ripped off! and once these stupid bootlegs pop up, it's basically a never ending game of whack-a-mole trying to get them all taken down...

When the realization hits that you’ve finally captured the Avatar 💥💥💥

Continuation of my NATLA x ATLA photo-booth series that I hope to make more of, esp of Iroh and Ozai 💪, you can find the first one I did of Aang and Katara here‼️

Been trying to experiment more with how I draw them, and the process for this one in particular was very fun :’] Still not too sure on how I did the lighting lol, i need to study more on how light works 💀

Any duo/trio/group you'd like to see in particular?
