DSM-IV TR: A Suggestion After having read the book three times now, I have a suggestion for the DSM-V. Utilize COLOR CODED GRAPHICS to delineate the LOGIC underlying diagnoses rules, and make them INTERACTIVE: A Decision Tree The DSM-IV TR is otherwise poorly written and organized, and my current “prescribing physician” cannot find her way to outside of a circular argument. — Re: Order to Show Cause Medication Over Objection Mental Hygiene Unit No: 300902-B Hon Justice Carl J.

That notwithstanding, in the interests of not wasting my time, which, based upon my NET WORTH exceeds yours by several orders of the magnitude (* translation: DO NOT WASTE MY FUCKING TIME *), I am providing you with the information you request, in order to facilitate your dude diligence calls, as the burden of proof is yon you to substantiate your claims of “grandiosity”, as the judge in our previous hearing for my discharge made it clear, and a matter of record, it behooves you to substantiate my claims. For your information, my outside counsel will subpoena records of my current and previous hospitalizations in this institution, as well as copies of the transcripts from all court proceedings (“sealed” or not) which will become part of a civil suit against this institution which is being prepared, as I documented to the admistrator of this hospital IN WRITING moths before my most recent admission.

Between Art and Life [publication]

Using art as a vehicle to empower other older Black women artists, I work in painting, photography, film, installation, and performance. My art reflects a unique technique of layered and textured abstract and geometric compositions using lines, shapes, and colours. My non-figurative paintings address issues of colonialism, police brutality, inequality, racism, the historical impact [intergenerational trauma] of enslavement on Black mental health, and stereotypes about Black women and aging.

Today [December 1, 2023] Toronto Transit [TTC] in partnership with Tangled Art & Disability, launched Transit as a Canvas.

The Transit as a Canvas project is an opportunity to use the poster spaces throughout the stations at the TTC to create an artistic intervention. They’re partnering with a number of artists throughout the year.

This is my 'final project for 2023' and I am proud to say that my artwork, [un]SEEN, is part of this amazing and city-wide project. I am hoping that 2024 will have more art opportunities for folks with disabilities and that my cancer journey will allow me to continue making art for years to come.

Thank you all very much.

[un]SEEN - Audio Description:

This square abstract painting prominently features the silhouette of a Black woman with a big afro hairstyle set to a colourful geometric pattern. The artist used black acrylic paint to craft the striking side-profile, accentuating her eyelashes, nose, and lips. The hair is textured, composed of a blend of black acrylic paint and natural soil, providing a tangible quality. The silhouette of the woman is adorned in a multi-colored top embellished with geometric cross stitching.

The woman stands out against a vibrant background of vertical streaks of yellow, green, teal, blue, red, and black spray paint to situate the silhouette in a dynamic backdrop. To make the clothing and background, the artist employed a technique using spray paint and painters tape to create hard-edge abstract geometric cross-patterns. Tape is first placed on the surface of the canvas before painting and then removed once the paint has dried to create striking geometric shapes, forms, and lines.

Titled [un]SEEN, this artwork is part of the artist’s 'Black Hair' series, centred around its tactile quality. The series delves into the connection between Black hair and untold stories, particularly those of Black women throughout history. The artist's use of soil in the textured hair symbolizes the link between stolen Black women from ancestral land, the forced reproduction of Black bodies, and the enduring struggle against racism and inequality today.

This piece encapsulates the artist's personal journey of self-expression and empowerment, inspired by their experiences with trauma related to race, sex, age, and invisible disabilities.

Using the mediums of installation, painting, performance and photography, I challenge systemic oppression against Black women and ageism and racism in the artworld. My work centers my own experience as an older Black feminist artist, facing exclusion while navigating through unwelcoming art spaces. ~ Gloria C Swain, Artist/Curator

"My work evokes the way Black culture has always found its strength and catharsis in movement. Geometric shapes in my work illustrate the rhythms of life, with sharp edges that collide and shatter to break through oppression.

My art practice is inspired by a legacy of intergenerational trauma and lived experiences as an elder Black feminist artist. I create large canvases of abstract and geometric paintings using lines and strong staged colours to look at what bodies are welcome in certain spaces and what bodies are unwelcome.
