Loss. Julie Clarke, July 2011

We remain open or closed to one another.
Either way loss is imminent.

  1. Moira Corby sent an email message to me via iPhone this afternoon and I quote:

    "I looked at this and thought forensics, it's the
    way you have used colour. At first I think the left image female genitalia, the idea of closing ones sex like a mouth".

  2. Hey Moira,

    Much about what I am doing of late is exactly 'forensics' in the sense that it is about identification, but also about investigation of the female body in biomedicine as well as in general, since we scrutinize our body for disease, aging and other indicators of pathology/psychology and, of course, sexuality comes into the equation.

  3. Received an email from Vincent (friend) who said:

    "I so much enjoy reading your comments and seeing your images on your site. I love the pics in your Autopticsoma I find them highly erotic (maybe it's my male brain??) I love your close up work".

  5. Moira, you may be referring to the 'antiseptic look' I've achieved by yellowing the image. Iodine is placed on the skin prior to surgery.

  6. your rampant intellect reminds me of my own Julie..ever taken Brahmi herb? its amazing for people who think a lot, i find it increases my mental ability by a factor of ten and it feels like a temporary enlightenment. i think it would take you to yet another great level (blackmores Brahmi and Ginkgo) wouldnt tell you if it wasn't relevant to you. assists rapid brain evolution.. more complex than any other plant.. like the brain is the most complex organ

  7. No Ash I take no chemicals into my body other than those already present in the food that I eat or through smoking cigarettes. I don't know that I would necessarily want or need 'rapid brain evolution' - quite happy with my brain the way it is and this is not conceit. I am actually attempting NOT to think too much and the way I do this is by meditating at least once per day. Slowing down, rather than speeding up is ideal, but thank you for your suggestion, it is noted.
