morning everyone, the shop is live! honestly i wasn't sure this day would come. I've been making ceramic oysters for months (years actually lol), through all the uncertainty of being a full time artist, through the weeks where i didn't know if any of this was going anywhere. the lab became my anchor. every week, hands in clay, one oyster at a time. it gave me structure when everything else felt like it was shifting. i wrote the full story on substack: the poem that started it all, the mythology, what it actually meant to make these. it's the most honest thing i've written in a while. every piece is handmade and unique. would truly appreciate if you'll take the time to check it out 🦪 https://odysseys-atelier.myshopify.com/

good morning, ofc @neynar knows 🧜♀️ fun fact: "Part of Your World" was written by Howard Ashman, a gay man who died of AIDS in 1991 at 40. He was diagnosed in 1988, while working on The Little Mermaid. it hits different knowing this. and the original story by Andersen? written the very year the man he loved announced his engagement to a woman. the whole thing is a clear queer allegory. a story about longing for a world that won't let you in, written across two centuries by two queer men. one heartbroken. one dying. art holds the power of life. of liberation. of freeing. mermaid szn is upon us.
