[IMAGE: A close-up of a brown bat with its mouth open very wide. You can see all of its teeth and its tongue! To the left of the bat, it reads in a maroon melty font: “TRY TO CHANNEL YR EMOTIONS INTO ART.”]
[IMAGE: Two Egyptian fruit bats hugging. They are next to a few bananas, probably their dinner. At the top, in a pale yellow melty font, it reads: “YOU ARE MY FAVORITE PERSON!”] ♥
[IMAGE: Two bats being held by a human. One is dark brown and the other is the same species and the same age, but albino. At the top, in a pink melty font, it reads: “IT’S OK: EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT!”]
[IMAGE: A flying fox hanging upside-down. It is the middle of the day and it is sleeping. At the top, in a white melty font, it reads: “MAKE SURE YOU GET” and at the bottom in a black melty font, it reads: “PLENTY OF SLEEP!”]
MOD NOTE – This probably seems painfully obvious, but staying up for days at a time or only getting a few hours of sleep every night is unhealthy. Everyone works differently though, so if you can, try to get as much sleep as you can manage. ♥
[IMAGE: A close-up of a bat hanging upside-down. Its eyes are closed, its mouth is open. Its tongue is sticking out and you can see its fangs. It looks pretty silly! At the top, in a white melty font, it reads: “YOU DON’T HAVE TO” and at the bottom in a black melty font, it reads: “BE AS “GOOD” AS ANYONE ELSE.“]
[IMAGE: A sillohette of a bat flying. It is flying during a pastel, pinkish-purpleish sunset or sunrise. At the top of the image, in a black melty font, it reads: TAKING CARE OF YRSELF IS NEVER A WASTE OF TIME.]
I was just thinking about our mutual favorite show! Yeah, the one with the lesbian space rocks and junk! Hey, do you remember that episode? That one where Steven is angry about Buck using Steven’s art in a way Steven disagrees with?
Do you remember the part where Steven goes to the Gems, and asks them to stop Buck and get rid of all the shirts? And how when the gems learn that the shirts aren’t physically hurting anyone, they say “People should be able to make whatever T-shirts they want,” and then Steven throws a tantrum and calls them pedophiles?
Oh, wait, I got that wrong, that was someone else. I remember what happened now! Do you guys remember?
Steven went out and created his own shirt! He didn’t attack Buck, or stalk him, or harass him, or call him a trash human being and that he should kill himself. That was pretty cool of Steven! Do you guys remember that?
@mahlimae’s Sculptures Are Made from Earth, but Otherworldly
For more photos of Nicole’s sculptures, follow @mahlimae on Instagram.
Stones, clay, thistles, feathers, bones and moss — these are the natural elements Nicole Watt (@mahlimae) finds on her property to create her 4-inch-high (10 centimeter) sculptures. But they add up to something that feels very otherworldly — and that’s the intention. “I’ve had these little creatures in my head since I was a child,” says Nicole. “Even though I’m a mixed-media artist, I’m inspired more by words than visuals — folklore, myth, ritual. They stir something in me.” Eight years ago, Nicole moved from mainland Australia to remote Tasmania, a wild environment where her art has flourished. “In the city, my connection to nature languished. I grieved for that. When we found this piece of land it brought my creativity back to me. Now I live in the same world — the trees, the mist — that I picture [my sculptures] living in.” And that is the urgency behind these hollowed-eyed mystical figurines. “I see people moving away from their innate sense of connection to the earth,” says Nicole. “We’re forgetting something as people — parts of our history and humanity. For me, they’re a reflection of where we’re at right now. That’s why they’re so melancholy.”
