I'm finishing up my holiday projects and starting to look forward to the creative directions I want to explore in the new year. I'm feeling the urge to return to a longtime interest of mine: the beautiful, complex, mysterious, comforting, awe-inspiring, ordinary world of lichen. It's been my photographic subject (see above- all photos by me), my artistic spark, my aesthetic model, my philosophical companion, and even my spiritual inspiration.

One of my holiday projects involves modeling lichen in a very literal way, out of materials like clay, cloth, paint, and paper, attempting to approximate its real-life appearance. Building those models has been satisfying, but it's also made me very curious about how I could carry the spirit and significance of lichen, its biological and conceptual character, into work that's less literal-minded. I'm not sure exactly where I want to go with that, but I'm excited to find out.

What are dead man walking tornadoes? :O

it’s a multi-vortex tornado. i dont remember the tribe it originates from (i think it was cherokee), but there’s a native american legend…? saying? that goes “if you see a man in a tornado, you are about to die.”

the most infamous shot of a dead man walking tornado hit jarrell, texas in 1997

it did so much damage to the town it caused the scale that tornados are measured by, the fijita scale, undergo revisions, and it made anchoring buildings in the tornado alley region pretty much mandatory. (it took the entire town off the map. only those who had taken shelter outside of the town or in underground bunkers survived.)

two more examples of dead man walking tornadoes looking like a person are a tornado from 2011 that hit cullman, alabama

and a tornado from 1975 that hit xenia, ohio

edit: it has been brought to my attention that the native american “legend” part of this post was a rumor spread by a documentary.

i have been asked to remove it, but i believe in letting my errors stand because i’m not perfect. i make mistakes

#ask #nature #tornado #sorry if this reply is late #hope the image of walking tornadoes chills you to the bone as much as they do for me #usually i find tornadoes strangely awe inspiring #what with the shear power and destruction they can cause in such a short amount of time #but walking tornadoes are another class all their own #also i made a typo in fujita scale and it’s too late to fix it now

5 Things I Love About the Forest

Hello, beautiful souls! Today I'm diving deep into the greens and whispers of the forest—a place where magic breathes and peace resides. There's an undeniable charm about the forest that captivates my artist's heart, and I want to share with you the Five Things I Love About the Forest. 🌲🍃

The Symphony of Nature - Every visit to the forest is like attending a live concert composed by nature itself. The rustle of leaves, the chirping of birds, the wind's melody through the trees—each sound combines into a symphony that soothes the soul and sparks my creativity.

The Play of Light and Shadows - As an artist, I'm fascinated by the interplay of light and shadows that the forest stages every day. Sunlight filtering through branches creates a dynamic canvas of light spots and dark patches, perfect for exploring in paintings and sketches.

The Ever-Changing Seasons - The forest showcases the beauty of change. From the lush, vibrant greens of spring and summer to the rich golds and reds of autumn, and even the stark, serene beauty of snow-laden branches in winter. Each season paints a new picture, offering fresh inspiration.

The Isolation for Reflection - There's a unique kind of solitude found in the depths of the forest. It's a space for introspection and meditation, where one can be truly alone with their thoughts, away from the hustle of everyday life.

The Richness of Biodiversity - The forest is a living museum, home to a myriad of creatures and plants. Each visit is a lesson in the diversity of life, each creature and flower a potential subject for my next piece of art, reminding me of the delicate interconnectedness of our ecosystem.

The forest isn't just a place; it's a living, breathing being that teaches, inspires, and revitalizes those who wander its paths. I hope this little tribute encourages you to explore your local woods and see what they might ignite in you. Perhaps you'll find your own reasons to fall in love with the forest, just as I have.

Stay wild, and keep creating,

Mila Brushwood 🌿🎨

The Raccoon Teacher.

Wisdom From The Wild The sun was on the west, and the day coming to an end. It was time for the evening grace. Nona, the Cantadora sat by the heath. Gone were the days of the warm hearth and fire place now we make did with a small Thai prayer bowl with few cinders and incense. “If you don’t sleep enough, you will get Racoon eyes” Tia Maria was telling young Camilla. “I like Racoons’ Camilla…

HETEROSEXUAL CIS-PEOPLE LOOK HERE

Snaps my fingers at you as you scroll past this post

Look at me. Listen.

I'm not the best at serious posts, but that article up there reminded me of how important it is that people like you stand up for us. So hold on while I try to get this out of my mushy end-of-work-day brain.

We could fight this fight ourselves for decades trying to reach the equal laws, gender affirming trans healthcare that doesn't have a 2-5+ soul-eating years of waiting time, medical care with equal knowledge of lgbtqia+ bodies, and, what is often forgotten, inclusion in the little everyday areas of life like our way of speaking or things being set up or designed with the existence of queer people in mind.

But you joining in could get us there so much faster.

The power you have as a hetero cis person is that you set the standard for what is seen as the average way of treating us among other hetero cis people. You have been given the power of deciding what's "normal" and I'm begging you to use it.

Richard Green is a great example of to what extent your actions can help our situation, and smaller ways of support still add up to a great impact on society, and could make the days of the queer people you interact with.

Educate yourself before you speak up, but don't be silent.
