📒 · Erratica, From The Atelier

The Arnolfini Portrait. 1434
This masterpiece contains a spectacular detail.
Beyond the exquisite ‘photographic’ realism, the mirror that is shown on the back wall is a study all its own. It reflects the part of the room that is in front of the couple – depicting Van Eyck at work creating this painting as well as two people at the entrance of the room.

Excerpts from The Spill Unfiltered – the diary of a mobster’s wife
“What’s that thing that they say? If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, did it make a noise? Well, I ask that same question. If I write my truths, but no one reads them, did I break the rule of silence?”

On glitches, fairy tales, subliminal messages and herds.
Most fairy tales are built upon the idea that children are not safe anywhere, detailing how children can be kidnapped, imprisoned, abused, and ‘spellbound’ easily. The idea that you, as a child, are not ‘safe’ anywhere is not an ideal subliminal notion.

On Cocktail Parties, Metaphors, Being Lulled & Glitches.
We are lulled as we swim in white noise and have given much of our lives hostage to the illusion of experiencing reality while living in a virtual state.

📒 · Erratica

On Dostoevsky.
Dostoevsky is one of the ‘deepest’ writers I have encountered through my journeys in literature. I say ‘deep’ because he fearlessly peels back layers of social expectation and just lunges for primal, raw, and unfiltered emotions, reactions, and observations. I don’t have a ‘favorite’ Dostoevsky work…they are all magnificent and stand alone in their magnitude […]

Traditional Greek Cooking & A Bit of Alchemy.
Spoon sweet? It’s the English translation of ‘γλυκο κουταλιου’ which literally translates as sweet of the spoon. It’s a traditional Greek sweet made by simmering fruit (and not only) into candied morsels in thick syrup that are traditionally served on a spoon in a small dish

📒 · Erratica

Marguerite Yourcenar. A brilliant mind.
“She didn’t march for rights—she simply wrote with the absolute freedom that society tried to deny her.”
Marguerite Yourcenar is proof that art can be revolutionary without shouting. Decades before the LGBTQ+ movement went mainstream, her 1936 lyrical work Fires (Feux) used ancient myth to boldly explore same-sex desire in a hyper-conservative world.

📒 · Totally Booked

Frankenstein: A Monster or the Result of Femme-Phobic Patriarchal Panic?
“…Who is the monster now? Patriarchal Panic Set In.

To me, the real monster is the sheer, unadulterated panic of a femme-phobic man realizing he can’t control a woman.

He could not accept that she would have free will.
He realized she might have her own desires and will that he cannot dominate. …”

Speaking of the mind…
Alice Miller wrote The Body Never Lies. The Lingering Effects of Hurtful Parenting. In the book she mentions various writers, such as Dostoevsky, Kafka, Proust and Woolf, who experienced their own traumatic childhood issues and later exhibited physical symptoms related to that weight they carried within.

📒 · Erratica, The Writer & La Raconteuse

The first week of Erratica
We pour ‘something’ into what we create – beyond inspiration. We end up expressing something beyond what we intended.
That something may or may not be obvious to others. And that brings me to a rabbit hole, looking at what experiences could trigger us to store the chestfuls of ‘things’ in our subconscious.
That idea of chests full of stored things – I liken it to a pirate ship filled with chests – but not stolen booty but stashed experiences, emotions, secrets, thoughts, fears, ideas that are ‘stolen away’ kept from anyone seeing them – sailing away to be buried in some remote island… and that thought drove me to some realizations.

The aftermath.
Did you ever have a friend – a helpful, reliable and dependable friend when needed? One who was always there, willing and able to lend a hand for the big and small things?
That ‘one’, the bestie, the one you thought you could never live without their ‘being there to help out’?
Imagine if you find out that friend stabbed you in the back. Rhetorically, darlings.
