Trying to make work for a show a friend is curating, I’ve got one work but I’m a bit frozen with fear // trying to remember that working with my instincts usually/hopefully // I need to clean and re do my studio for the summer

The bagh naka (Marathi: वाघनख / वाघनख्या, Hindi: बाघ नख, Urdu: باگھ نکھ) is a claw-like weapon from India designed to fit over the knuckles or be concealed under and against the palm. It consists of four or five curved blades affixed to a crossbar or glove, and is designed to slash through skin and muscle. It is believed to have been inspired by the armature of big cats, and the term bagh naka itself means tiger’s claw in Hindi.

it’s getting harder and harder to fake, acting like everything’s in its place

I had a really nice day off, I slept in a little then had coffee and walked into town to get some new pillows, did all my hand washing, tidied the flat. Then I read in the sun for a while, made some toast for dinner. I’m drinking a double brown in bed in my lingerie feeling happy
I haven’t eaten all day, now it’s 8.39 I’m going to have a bagel and hot toddy // I need to make some work for a show but I’m so burnt out from work // What’s a good moving to watch while I drink my toddy?
