ConSenses: Where Artists Play Telephone
Just got tagged to participate in this multi-media collaboration where one artist sends another artist an object and the artist does their own interpreative work based on the item they receive. I got 2 very depressing photos, well I think they’re both depressing, of a woman. The colors were sepia and gray. I immediately thought about miscarriages, my mom had a few and i know they whooped her butt, and then i saw myself in the position of the woman as I am trying to clear up a lot of wreckage from my past marriage. I keep changing up the formula, this has been a challenge to my nose and my mind.
The idea is darkness, bleakness but still vestiges of life with little snippets of rose and marzipan which will hopefully tickle the far reaches of your olfactory senses, a reminder of the promises of life that keep us anchored yet may often be undelivered or only imagined (as in, what if that baby had lived and my mother had not sunk into deep depression and I now had a brother or sister close in age to me….)
Top notes: bergamot, honey, petitgrain
Heart: dravetz, cabreuva wood, civet, hint of marzipan
Base: dessicated incense tincture, choya loban, rose de mai -
