Ink, charcoal, graphite, acrylic, staples, paper 175 x 99in (Dims variable) Violet Handforth is a New York City-based writer, artist, and researcher in the Philosophy of Religion. Handforth’s work focuses on the relationship of Religion and Art, a practical mysticism. Inspired by the organ clock of Classical Chinese Medicine’s chrono-medicine system, these drawings were made improvisationally during the installation of the exhibition. Handforth draws out the heart, pericardium, triple warmer, and gallbladder channels: during the course of the show, we transitioned from the time of the Triple Warmer - the most mysterious meridian, an organ that does not exist, perhaps the intersitium, the fascia, or the adrenals- into the time of the Gallbladder. From the time of greatest darkness, all yin, through the Winter Solstice, to the time when the light, yang Qi, begins to return, like a faint light at the mouth of a cave, a golden arrow pointing towards the light from within darkness. Some of the drawings bleed off the paper and onto the wall itself. The paper and bodies are folded around and onto the window ledge. “Triple Warmer” Group Exhibition Shoot the Lobster Dec 18-31, 2025. Installation shots by @cherryhandforth

Interview I did with Mark Leckey for @superstarsonlymag ISSUE 6: I AM FULL. Also a comic I made about meeting a labubu. I am so honored and grateful in my deepest heart and down to my marrow. The conversation and the ideas shared are wild and fascinating. The entire issue is pure gold. Thank you very much to @mark.leckey And to @danini_star and @ayjrian.tiu
