Princess
Take the manifold arms of this blueness to fold softly into packets, like the sheen of neat plastic over smiling pills Melancholy adorns the ballroom heroine I will languish in bed, missing the songs in Lento, that she howls for the pallid day, us trussed up among tidal sheets & we become vitruvian humans. Mistress misery watches forbiddingly from the bathroom mirror, sweeping macabre visions over the poppy fields

Below are three gorgeous pieces of art from Keely Mclavin, a guest contributor for Meditating Cat Zine. Keely is an Irish based multidisciplinary artists who works primarily with drawing and text. Her practice explores themes of mental health specifically dealing with the de-stigmatization of the mental illness borderline personality disorder (BPD), womanhood, the body, feminist critique, sexuality, gender and identity. The artworks created are an attempt at creating mutual empathy amongst viewers. Works shown in this practice are often autobiographical showcasing the artists emotional intimacies and experiences. If you enjoyed these pieces, be sure to keep a lookout for more of Keely's work in future issues of Meditating Cat Zine! 'You Ruined My Life': 'Self Injury': 'This Is A Cry For Help':

About Sophia: Fuelled by shibas & tea, Sophia finds solace in scribbling lil’ doodles in between the draining yet amusing life that is her school life. While most of her interests & fantasies constantly come and go, thoughts on what to draw next stays on her mind 24/7, rent free. Other than her hopes of pursuing a path in the visual arts or graphic design sector, she strives to actually fill up a full sketchbook (and fix her sleep schedule) someday. |
