Ironies of ‘the female condition’

Below are my digital drawings currently on show in Cúnhouse Lounge. I like seeing and capturing funny anecdotes. The poem and illustrations chosen for this small exhibition on the occasion of International Women’s Day humorously picture some favoured debates of ‘the female condition’.

This illustration was first conceived as a poem, and published in Blankpages magazine in 2010.

Thank you PMS for the warning. Flashing amber (go slow now) twinkling. Do some thinking. Interrupt my sleep with thoughts middle deep. Sweet films and hurts. Thank you for the thin skin, for the blood that drains the stagnant still impressions. I enjoy the feeling of feeling. I cry the hurt of others. Sorrows come alive spiking through my pain. (You give me) I like to hear my soundbeat, and to love more. To love. To miss. To no sorrow. Better tomorrow. Thank you PMS. Until we meet again.[/wpcol_1half_end]
