Some divisive content from my writergram/ bookstagram.

It’s too soon to make vicious snap judgments. Without context, if you haven’t actually seen the film, you can’t justly criticize creative decisions. Watch the film first and then throw all the tomatoes you want. 💁‍♀️🍅

Here is a better idea: revisit the classic gothic revenge novel Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë. It’s worth the re-read.

Another Brontë-inspired shadowbox work in progress. This is one of Emily’s poems, and while some die hard Brontë fanatics would flay me alive for associating any of her poems with the upcoming film inspired by Wuthering Heights (directed by Emerald Fennel), the surreal promotional still I’ve included in this carousel kind of vibes with the gothic tone of my artwork. The poem is powerful, and I don’t want to cheapen it with kitschy collage features. I might keep it minimal with sealing wax and natural earthy elements so that it remains a piece to be held up close and studied, evoking the Brontë’s tiny books.

I dunno. It’s art. I might just set it on fire and glue rhinestones all over it per my usual style…
