"My visual work is based primarily on improvisation - on following the pen rather than preconceiving - and on loose associations. My many mistakes are guideposts which determine where a drawing goes next. I create as a way to process darkness into something tangible, something able to be crumpled, something funny and/or laughable."

Elisabeth Blair is a feminist, poet, multidisciplinary artist, and podcaster. She has been an artist-in-residence at ACRE, Wildacres, Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts, and the Atlantic Center for the Arts. She hosts a podcast about women who compose contemporary classical music, and strives to advocate for artists who do not benefit from the white cisgender patriarchy. www.elisabethblair.net

These photos came about after reflection on the smart phone camera as a form of archiving our lives. All of these photos were taken on an iPhone over the past few years because I could not afford an actual camera, the accessibility of this form of photography is very important. Whole revolutions, lives, and performances are now all documented through our iPhones, Snapchat, Instagram, and eventually on Facebook, in a way that is so easy to do that it's accessible to people of all backgrounds and experiences. I've been in parts of the world in which people didn't necessarily have direct access to clean water or food, yet they had smartphones in which they could document their lives. This documentation of our daily experience is what brought this project around, thinking about how grateful I am for my friends and being able to be a part of their lives. All of these photos are pictures of my friends existing and allowing me to document their existence in the most accessible way I know how, through my iPhone. ​

growing from ashes

Cacti and palm varieties some how sustained life on Caladesi Island despite being torched. The purposeful flames provide regrowth to plants and even though they are surrounded by death and decay, many still thrived. ​

Hannah Gross is a textbook Gemini with an affinity for exploring different landscapes. A native of Pittsburgh, her influences converge at the intersection of art and science, specifically how the two work together to transform and capture life. More of her work on portraits and wildlife can be found at hannahgrossphotography.smugmug.com and instagram handles @doctor_trifling. ​

​In Willoughby, Ohio there is a white hut on the side of the road and they sell handmade ice cream in store bought waffle cones. They do not have Superman flavored ice cream.

​If your shoes do not have laces, they can’t come untied on the escalator. If your coat doesn’t have buttons, they can’t fall off on the train and roll under a stranger’s seat.

​This last year or so has been pretty tough for a lot of people, and it never hurts to  be nice.

​Bridget Roddy is an illustrator and graphic designer living in Portland, OR. She pulls inspiration from Americana and being generally aimless. She uses flat colors because she is already too overwhelmed by life’s many layers.
 
She is afraid of birds, escalators and the current state of affairs. She likes loud music, potatoes and leaving dead flowers on her dining room table until they start to mold. You can follow her at @roddycreative on Instagram and check out what else she has going on at roddycreative.com.

"​The inspiration towards my photography usually comes from the rawness of human nature, adventure, and of course nature itself, and how they intersect. I have an appreciation for documented memories, and within that, bold details and realness, and in these photos I hoped to capture the joy and solace felt in adventure, plus the beauty in black boy joy."

Picture
Marie Fonbah is an observant, moon-spirited black girl born in 2000. She is located in California, and she is the founder of Adolescent Creatures zine.

In her free time she is either creating music playlists that define her every mood, finding herself in the deep wonders of the mysterious web, or feeding her knowledge through films, books, and long essays about sisterhood, black empowerment, mental illness, environmental justice, and more.
