Journey - Tee

Flash (noun): a sudden burst / a brief display / a short summary / a symbolic occurrence. (verb): To burst suddenly / to display for a brief moment / to give a short summary / to occur symbolically. (adjective): sudden / brief / short / symbolic. 

I am obsessed with ideas & symbols. Something will just flash into my head, and I suddenly have to draw it as a simple line drawing. I’ll set it aside, and come back to it every so often. Often, this process reveals another flash of insight, a word, phrase, quote. Repeated enough these flashes create a glossary of concepts that include symbol, word, definition, and (a) guiding quote(s). This glossary can then be used to better communicate the complexity and depth of Queerly Complex creations. 

Check out our Collabs page to see how we’ve used Flash to map what we are co-creating with other Queerdos and our comrades.

Journey: The act of traveling / wandering / cruising from one place / point / location / moment to another.

“I found that by discovering what gives me joy in my life, real joy, I could find ways to discover that kind of joy in my gender journey. The deep joy in my own life stems from things like finding missing pieces to philosophical conundrums; or being able to express love for someone; or the freedom to be what I want to be, when I need or want to be that (which very often means being quite alone).” Kate Bornstein, My Gender Workbook
