For me, the best part of the church.

Don't sit !!! Sofa gator is a cruel one.

A contribution art for #DAMswap for @dam_zine

Sofa-gator

A grassy sand dune at Fanore Beach on the West coast of Ireland. We all have to choose our battles, and sometimes we choose a "hill to die on." This was one of mine.

A Hill to Die On

Clods of dark brown earth break
With each determined thrust of boot and blade.
Revealing in the core of warmed embrace
Some small and welcome fruit of labour made.


Roots of month-long summer toil
Lie exposed in conquered disarray
And sit, hard won, on frozen winter soil.
I smile. We shall be fed yet again today. - Fay Slimm.

You used to be happy when it was time for a new episode of your favorite cartoon, when you would rush home after class and sit in front of the TV.
Do you remember that candy from your childhood? How special was it to unwrap it and savor each bite while watching the cartoon?
During summers, you always went to your grandmother's house, and she cooked your favorite dish, filled the living room with your smell and asked if you still loved it
If you go down the street, there is a restaurant that sells it.
The taste is not the same because hers will always be the best.

CHAOS IN MY HEAD

Sacrificing art for love, insanity for creativity, comfort for possibility. 
Doubt screams at me every morning. Wraps around me like a serpent, reaching my eyes to perform a hypnotic ritual of faults and failures. A mirror I'll never be able to look away from, but one I can learn to love. A raging tempest of thoughts cyclone my beliefs. I walk towards them and they retreat. Calliope, Peregrine and Holly await with open arms to bring me back when I am falling. The temptation to lose myself is always there. You remind me what I'd be losing.

Sacrifice is the ultimate sacrifice. Forswear anything that previously meant something to you in order to create something that will mean everything to you.

"Whimsical Cosmos" is a playful visual journey into the lighthearted dance of everyday life elements, inviting viewers to embrace the whimsy within the vastness of the universe.

Whimsical Cosmos

Upon a road less traveled, whispers softly tread,
Loneliness adorned in colors, hues unsaid.
Amidst the quiet, a spectrum of grace,
Loneliness painted, a colorful embrace.
In solitude's palette, a story unfolds,
On the road less traveled, where destiny molds.

Digital painting and poem by JuleslikM, 2023.

Light Painting 1

For this DAM single culturehacker pays homage to Fluxus with the creation of “FLUX U” an influencer kit consisting of 3 artifacts and 3 scores. The issue holds up a mirror to influencer culture and was co-authored with ChatGPT which culturehacker trained on a series of “how to” become an influencer articles and posts. The result is a satirical look at what it takes to be an influencer in Web3.

Diverge


"Peace of Mind" amplifies a mental and emotional equilibrium. Is like having a cozy mental blanket, a warm hug for the soul. It's that feeling when your mind takes a deep breath and says, "Hey, everything's okay." This sweet spot where worries fade away, and you find inner calm, a quiet and happy space within yourself.

It's about feeling content and safe, like finding a harmonious oasis amidst life's hustle. Whether it's through meditation, a walk in nature, or simply embracing joy along your path, "Peace of Mind" is that heartwarming friend who whispers in your ear, "You're doing great, everything will work out better than you expect. Trust in yourself"

Peace of Mind

On the sidewalk where feet tread slow,
Waiting whispers where the moments flow.
Amidst the bustle, stared anywhere,
Waiting answers, like we have affair.

6000 x 4000

Stand-by

Breathe deeply and allow the garden's peace to dwell within. Raindrops patter softly, infusing the air with life-giving waters. Step into this space, into the present moment

A quiet retreat

The imaginary and the real are only a step away. We push and pull our mind.
Then, at times, we see a way through.

#DAMswap is a celebration of the discovery of art/artists of all backgrounds, fueled by the accessibility of its nature.

For each #DAMswap, we reach out to various organizations, collectives, as well as individual artists in space. 

Work made for #DAMswap is curated and compiled into an Issue of DAM, then distributed for free, which then serves as an archive of the event, and more importantly, as a directory for Artists.

A window that no longer exists. What caught my attention were the plants growing from it. It was full of them. I decided to take a photo before it got completely dark, but a vehicle passed in front of me, and this was the result of that moment. Like waves in the air crossing through my photo.

"Empowering the brilliant cosmos within her"

Woman's Universe

I'm blooming can't you see
The soil hasn't been kind to me
It's like trying to break through hot gravel
Or cold concrete
I'm blooming, it just takes a long time
Longer than it would to find 5 weird words that rhyme with time, because this lack of rain has come at a horrible time

I'm growing, my roots spread slowly but surely
I'm not sure when I'm going to flower but I'm glad it's not too early
Patience is necessary when dealing with me, as I'm a work in progress but clearly that you cannot see
You expected a finished product but I was given to you as I was.-- NeroameeAlucard .

Awaiting full bloom

Every night, the torment intensified. The sinister figure's grip tightened, draining his hope. Desperate for escape, Jake sought help, unearthing a chilling history. An ancient curse had ensnared her ancestors. In a last-ditch effort, he faced his fears, defying the malevolent entity. The battle for his soul began, and only courage would grant her salvation.

Aurora of Agony

a mimic of light,
and memories captured,
where shadows play in plum

here in contrast,
entwined with leaves,
are whispers that softly hum

time’s delicate touch,
a faded memory and
echoes in violet gloom

i’ll wait here with you
until it blooms,
the next mimosa june.

My latest works continue the line of exploring abstract forms with photo based media and analogue works. As with other works, these compositions use lines to create drama and conflict in the composition. For me, every line is a character that acts in a composition. Abstraction here is not about form or an aesthetic view primarily, but a means to carry an implied function. In Field test, form gives way to the utility of lines electrifying the scene to cause a reaction, in colour or in the subject matter – an unknown incident has happened.  I tend to experiment with abstract elements like I’m conducting lab tests with visual forms. Works prior to these, in web2, have always used unusual materials like lead, coal, wax, copper wire, batteries or metal leaf. I have always seen these materials, light and colour as representative conductors of energy.

MESSY LINES 27

As kids of the 80s, we'd save up our hard-earned quarters. With eager anticipation, we'd stride into the dimly lit arcade with friends in tow. The satisfying clink of coins dropping into the slot was music to our ears. With hearts racing, we'd slam the one-player button and instantly transport ourselves into another world of pixelated adventures. This was a common scene from my childhood. 

Ready to Play

Fingers poised on the joystick, we'd navigate Ms. Pac-Man through the labyrinth, pursuing those elusive pellets - while dodging ghosts at every turn. With friends gathered around, we dove head-first into the game. It reminds me of those carefree days when the arcade was our refuge, and Ms. Pac-Man our trusty guide through a maze of youthful delight.

Cyanotype prints use a chemical reaction when exposed to sunlight to create abstract representations of natural shapes. The process involves coating a surface with a photosensitive solution, exposing it to the sun for around 2 hours, and washing the print to reveal the final image. This is an unwashed print. Eco-printing can further enhance the effect by adding liquid rust to the cyanotype coat, producing unique and earthy colour.

The heart of this picture is a single poster of classic Wonder Woman, portrayed on television by the iconic Lynda Carter. This nostalgic image recalls the TV show's empowering wisdom: "It's not about what you deserve; it's about what you believe. And I believe in love." 

In a world that perpetually craves wonder - yet desperately needs peace - this photo salutes remarkable women who, like Wonder Woman, inspire us to embrace love, strength, compassion and empathy - making our world a better place.
