Pride, painting, and plot twists | The Misfit Diaries: Ch.9
Pride month in Copenhagen, which brought up All The Feelings for me - the joyful, the complicated, and the ones I'm still untangling. Plus a queer art show, a gloriously boundary-fucking burlesque, some ridiculously exciting (and terrifying) news, and a return to painting after a break.
I overdid it - on purpose | The Misfit Diaries: Ch.8
Is it worth deliberately overworking in order to buy an easier life later? A 30-day experiment in burning hot on purpose, and the real cost of pushing a creative practice and a chronically ill body to its limits.
What goes up, must come down | The Misfit Diaries: Ch.7
The comedown after a social extravaganza, and the slow climb back up. A month of quiet studio days, my summer solstice ritual, Sankt Hans Fest, a drag show and the cats (as always). Essential elements in the gentle art of tending oneself back to life.
A day in the Haus of Cats | The Misfit Diaries: Ch.5
Spend a day in the Haus with me: filming, zine-making, a fabulous outfit. And a conversation with my best friend that sends me down a rabbit hole about my relationship with rules - turns out this anti-authoritarian punk is secretly dying to be told what to do 🤣.
Send Nudes: behind the scenes of a daunting photoshoot
What does it mean to deliberately put your 45-year-old body into the world when culture has decided women your age should be fading quietly into the background? What's the difference between being looked at and choosing to be seen? What does it mean to be visible?
Drag is LIFE | The Misfit Diaries: Ch.4
Two days of artist admin with a double-drag chaser! Writing at my brother's gorgeous gallery café, exhibition planning with my gallerist, a mission-critical charity-shop hunt for the perfect frame, and somehow ending up at two drag shows in two days.
I finally found my people | The Misfit Diaries: Ch.3
"I've found an event with your name on it," said Lars, bursting into the studio. "It's called Community In Otherness!” This is the story of what happened next, and what it feels like to finally find your people.
VLOG | Self-soothing after a rough week (with books & art)
In this week’s video, join me as I self-soothe after a rough week with a trip to the Copenhagen library, some book chat (of course), and a visit to Louisiana Museum of Modern Art.
Galleries, goth clubs, and good friends | The Misfit Diaries: Ch.2
A week of art, friendship and staying up too late: a new gallery, a friend's exhibition (attended in a VERY twirly coat), dancing at a goth night (the outfit gasp), and a book that had a profound effect on me.
Why I’m breaking all the rules | The Misfit Diaries: Ch.1
I went looking for someone like me on YouTube, and they didn't exist. So I made the content I wanted to see instead. A week of making art, plotting a treasure hunt to release a collection (because selling art should be its own kind of art), and living a full and colourful life of glorious misfittery in Copenhagen. All in fabulous outfits, of course 😜.
