Still here for the most part. Still scratching and clawing my way towards some vague light. Hope to share more of myself this year with you all.
Experiments with self-portraits and long exposures and disembodiment.
Preview of some updates to Limbo I’ve been working on and scrapping and working on and scrapping for way too long.
Typeface - “Consuming Judas” | Coming 2021 (pending the persistence of our present institutions [which I’m reluctantly optimistic about and have plenty of thoughts about {DM me if you need to process}]).
• “SELF-ISH” •
So I think that for the most part, the Self is a fluid and ever-changing psychological construct, a grouping of general ideas, dispositions, and notions tied together by the common thread of memory and locked in a physical brain, and you don’t have a “true self” that is completely fixed and absolute, and you get to decide (to a degree) what that is, every day, which is reassuring and something I have to tell my... uh... myself.
“But Tim, implying that you get to choose a constructed ‘Self’ implies a construct that does the choosing, which would be a kind of ‘meta-self’ - wouldn’t that be a ‘True Self’ as it werrrrrrre mermermer?”
Sure bro I think we’re getting into Jung-ish divisions between the conscious and the subconscious and how we think they communicate, but I think that maybe there’s only the perception of self to a degree, and I think there’s an entire planet of subconscious subterranean
creatures in your head that come in and out of focus at varying resolutions at various times due to varying external factors, and we cling to some of them and let go of others, and I think we have multiple selves, and other stuff, but I’m mostly just kind of flailing around in it. Anyway. Hey guys. How’s 2021 going so far? Good? Great.
