The scale of time when these sculptures were made is difficult for a human mind to comprehend. Fat women have been appreciated and revered in art since art began. The modern view is the outlier, not the norm.

Why do I feel like nothing is real anymore? Like I'm living in some kind of alternate reality or something. Anyone else?

This is a piece of artwork called Unlliw, created in 2002 by Welsh artist Carwyn Evans in response to a proposal to build 6,500 new homes in Ceredigion.
Tumblr media
It's a brilliant piece intended to provoke discussion of the cultural and environmental impact of this sort of new build housing in less densely populated areas. However, as an archaeology graduate, the thing that really strikes me about this exhibition is that it's a true masterstroke of curation - the way in which the work is exhibited in the gallery enhances the intent of the original work in a way that the artist had not envisioned.
You see, this is the landscapes gallery of the National Museum of Wales, in Cardiff. It's a huge, curved gallery that takes you on a journey throughout art history, with sumptuous landscapes by classical masters depicting the beauty of the Welsh landscape on each great curved wall, and sculptures dotted throughout the middle of the gallery. Towards the end of the gallery, you round the corner and you see this mass of cardboard, piled up against the wall, obscuring a beautiful oil painting. It's shocking. It's out of place. It's actually literally covering part of that painting, there is a part of the landscape that you just can't see any more because of these 6,500 cardboard bird houses.
It's a phenomenal use of a piece of artwork to demonstrate the original intent of the artist, to provoke the feelings that Evans wanted to provoke, and to make you think about art and curation and space in a new way.
Quite frankly it's the best single piece of curation I've ever seen.
If you want to read the full statement of work Carwyn Evans made in 2002 it's here.

• my sleep filled eyes fluttered open as the sun warmly shone through the tall trees creating a projection of beautiful sun and shadow shapes on the mossy ground. The colorful leaves danced down from the tall trees as bursts of wind blew by. I slowly sat up from the tree branch I often rested on as the forest animals began to awaken. Bunnies hopped along in search for a filling feast, bugs buzzed by briskly and the birds sang smoothly. As I looked below, I saw all of my materials exactly as I left them before. Softly fluttering my fairy wings, I drifted down from my tree branch. Most of my days were spent in this vast forest creating divine, expressionistic paintings. Although I built a shelter in the tree tops, I still find myself to be quite nomadic. Animals gathered back at the base of the tree to ferociously feast on their freshly hunted breakfast, and that was my cue to feed myself. Softly fluttering my delicate wings allowed me to hover over the ground to scavenge for edible berries and flowers. I would collect as many as I could, because the berries and flowers could be used to make more paint. After collecting some delectable juicy flowers and berries,I circled back to the large tree I set up at. I sat peacefully, back against the tree trunk, watching the trees blow in the wind as I crunched the juicy berries between my teeth leaving me with stained lips.

Do you have any lynette fic recs(somethibg similar to your fic, maybe?)
I'm afraid not :( Mind you, I haven't gone looking all too hard, so it's very possible there's some out there.
After some filtering there's only about 600 ao3 fics with Lynette—
—or 400 if I additionally filter out fics marked as M/M—
—so it's probably possible to exhaustively check if you have the time and energy.
Otherwise, signal boost — does anyone know any fics where they liked Lynette's characterisation?
