belatedly sifting through documentation and findings from my @confloption residency + open studio in november, an experimental first instance of SNARL (speculative natures animist research lab), involving various tendrils from my web of ongoing coyote works: ballpoint drawings, watercolor translations, spotting photos, my wild canid library, a participatory station for visitors to share and read others' coyote encounters (e.g. sightings, memories, rumors, dreams, etc.) @unrulyidiom suggested my medium is coyotes, which feels accurate! hoping to invite more instances of this work this year, and more in the realms of subjective research, interspecies entanglement, speculative animism, coyote portals photo of visitors via @fenchurch (which includes @vicwomg playing soundscapes, and @zacharyjameswatkins @jennitaur @poppers_the_pony , all fellow travelers to the more-than-human worlds)

paige raina davis @trainingforknighthood - was the whp fellow in residence at confloptus for the month of december. open fretwork. thanks to all who joined us. “after the sun sets it is still bright” xo

whp fellow paige raina davis @trainingforknighthood will be in residence for the month of december at confloptus. sunday dec. 28th at 4pm open fretwork “Intrigued by the phrase “body of work”, I’ve been considering my work as a means to sit beside, physically as well as energetically, my family’s artistic practices and their collective vision. Just down the street from Confloptus sits the church my grandparents were married in, its wrought-iron, screened moongate serving as a mascot for my time here. The month of December will be spent synthesizing texts and images from books of Doaist talismanic calligraphy, Chinese garden architectural motifs, and ancient jewelry pieces. I am offering a form of meditation and mediation that connects the self to the many who came before and those who will come after, while at the same time proposing a body of time that sees no difference, no “before” and no “after”. How might ancient texts and practices, how might ever-present forms/concepts like shadow and translucence, aid in our collective vision and action of today, how might they lead us to open up new avenues of possibility, new sights/sites of truth?”
