Mesmerizing needlework for this modern summer obi with ayame (iris) and hagi (bushclover) embroidered in metallic threads.

The embroidery is so beautifully textured it actually look like beadwork from afar:

wanting to talk to people is so fucking embarrassing. literally hi it's me again I wanted to have a conversation with you because I think you're fun to talk to. oh god you can just fucking kill me if you want sorry

Instead of "live laugh love" or "home is where the heart is" my (wonderful, progressive, very accepting) dad put up the racism sign in the foyer

whats the racism sign?

The racism sign, as I like to call it, is from an art piece I made halfway through my first semester of art school:

It reads "any attempted theft will be reported to the police" in the 15 most commonly spoken languages by immigrants here other than English or other western european languages (in descending order).

This sign was only half of the art piece, the other half was the most stereotypically Icelandic painting I could think of:

When the piece was shown the painting and the sign were hung on opposite sides of the room, making the sign more of an afterthought for those who don't speak any of the languages written on the sign. Standing out just enough for them to notice it and maybe wonder what it said, but ultimately not giving it a second thought for the most part.

I wanted to highlight one of the most common ways racism and xenophobia present themselves here as well as the comfort of ignorance. The sign doesn't cater to you, you ignore it it, and you don't care what it might say. You don't have to think about it because it doesn't affect you.

For those who can read the sign though, or bother to translate it, this is just yet another reminder of people's ignorance and double standards. My inspiration for this piece came from my old workplace, where they had this sign hanging on one of the doors:

The main things that stood out about this to me were that

People love saying that we're not racist/xenophobic here even though we very much are. The problem is just that so many people don't take the time to look when it doesn't directly affect them. I was very happy with my piece because people actually came up to me and asked what the sign said because they wanted to know, it started a conversation and made those previously unaware of this issue more aware. I wonder if these sorts of signs would be anywhere near as commonplace as they are if more people looked at them critically and asked "why is this the thing we bother translating?"

Anyway, all that aside I love my dad and I like the way this art piece turned out but also I am slightly worried about giving people the wrong idea when this is the first thing they see when they enter our home 💀

Well if you want my permission to show it then you have it :))

with great regret i must inform you that there is a typo in the Latvian translation, so it actually says “any attempted theft will be reported to poland”

I found out while working on this that it is extremely difficult to get 15 fully accurate translations into languages you don't speak in the span of a week but this is killing me 💀

I think the thing that irritates me the most about people that are like "but what if it's a fetish thing???" about art of a fat person/character is that it moves into purity culture territory about a fucking bodytype. Literally nobody says this about pinups of thin, muscular, or just "conventionally attractive" characters. What if the artist's fetish is just abs with a little sweat on them? Isn't it a fetish thing when artwork reflects somebody's specific taste, even when that taste is conventional? Why is it then concerning when the person depicted is now fat? Why are you, the person pointing it out, only disgusted when the bodytype isn't thin?

That's not even getting into how some people are or aspire to be the [gasp] more extreme weight classes than what's socially considered "too fat" in public. I feel like I'm going insane. Some people are so eager to show their contempt for fat people, all in the name of signaling to themselves and others that their tastes are somehow "healthier" and [implicitly] "more morally just."

Fuck off with that attitude and maybe learn to live with fat around you in a way that doesn't turn fatness into a moral failure on all accounts, including sexual.
