been a minute since sharing from this account!!! Been meaning to say something about opening IRL @holdingspace.place since December but alas!!! eventually I will post what i barely drafted 7 months ago!!! for now, here is a moon poem text by way of @ceciliamignon many moons ago ๐
VENDOR SPOTLIGHT @holdingspace.place@holding_______space@lakebottomwriting
Holding space is an artist collective, a gentle place to land, a soft situation, a long form poem, a creativity workshop, a cold glass of water, an intimate altar, a container to stretch, a shared somersault, a platonic romance, a passed bowl of popcorn, a cozy picnic, a group chat.

ink experiments, 2019 by @lindsmueller_
๐พ these #inkexperiments are studies in uncertainty made atter the artist received a life saving medical procedure that led them to redefine their relationship to themselves
& to everything. they follow techniques and methods established by Canadian ink maker Jason Logan of Toronto
Ink company. the color used in these works is made fram #foragedmaterials like copper, turmeric from the health food store, hibiscus flowers, acorn caps, a rusty nail, and so on.
#makeink
lots of folks asked about purchasing these works during Midnight Garden at @chicorynaturalist , but did you know that you can commission natural ink experiments from the artist requesting certain colors or ingredients? message @lindsmueller_ if youโre interested! โฅ๏ธ
Since May, I have had a DIY group show up on the back walls of @chicorynaturalist , showing work by me & 24 other artists (mostly folks in my little sweet artist collective @holding_______space ). Today is the closing reception! Most of the art on the walls is for sale & we have lots of lovely art objects, prints, and zines for sale as well! This show has seen me through a lot, including a car accident a few days before one of our events ๐ซ @chicorynaturalist has become my third space, and Chris has become one of my best friends. I love this show! I love all of our art touching and communicating with each other! I love the way my friends held me through this whole experience, letting me be an art bully and put their work out into the world while also holding my hand and reminding me that they love me and my silly little vision on a bright green wall while panicking 2 days before the opening that everyone will hate it. ๐
This image by @shravyakag was originally a part of a zine she made titled โi go back queerโ ๐ floating on the walls in Midnight Garden between flowers, scaffolding, creatures, and tissue paper ๐ธ
