Taking it back….

The archives remember kings
because kings built the archives

our names survived in fragments
stitched into the hems of uniforms
pressed into recipe books
buried inside letters no historian thought to unfold carefully

they called us muses
wives
witches
madwomen
assistants

anything but architects

for centuries they edited us down
cut us from photographs
quoted our work without saying our names
turned our bodies into evidence
our anger into diagnosis
our exhaustion into character flaws

they built entire institutions
out of the belief
that we would stay grateful for the corners

but something is changing now

you can feel it in the classrooms
in the courtrooms
in group chats that turn into movements before dawn
in daughters who no longer apologise before speaking
in women comparing notes
and suddenly realising the pain was never personal

we are recovering each other
like lost cities beneath water

there is fury in it
but also tenderness

the kind born when someone says
I thought I was alone in this

and another voice answers
you were never alone
they just worked very hard to keep us separate

now the old language is cracking

the words that kept us small
hysterical
difficult
too emotional
too ambitious
too loud

they no longer fit properly

we are outgrowing them

there are women alive right now
learning to take up space without apology
without shrinking their brilliance
without softening their edges into something more acceptable

women rebuilding themselves from the historical record outward

women who understand that survival was never the final goal

we did not endure centuries merely to remain decorative

we are returning to ourselves

not quietly
not perfectly
not all at once

but together

and that changes everything

I visited an exhibition yesterday at the #CreweCenter at #USM in #PortlandME yesterday. The theme is "Of Sibyls and Source: Ranges and Ruptures" showing through March 31, 2026. The first piece that caught my eye was "Invoking the Muses" by artist and teacher #SusanBickford. "These dresses are meant to invoke and honor these ancient Goddesses, indeed to welcome them into this temple, remembering their essential role in creative inspiration. Position in relationship to the architecture and an extension of the sky, sunlight, moonlight, and the wind, and made as an offering, each stitch a prayer for the future, and the artists receiving their blessing."

Donc oui, j’ai décidé que la version instrumentale est finie. Mais…

J’ai écrit des paroles en français qui suivent une mélodie, et des paroles en anglais qui suivent une autre mélodie.

Le morceau est destiné à un album collectif et j’hésite donc à envoyer :
- La version instrumentale
- La version française
- La version anglaise
- La version bilingue (une langue dans chaque oreille 😄)

🙃

#muses #sieste #choices #fuckAI

(J’avais pas fini finalement. J’ai fait encore des dizaines de micro ajustements dans le mix. Mais là j’ai peut-être fini 😄) #muses #sieste #choices #fuckAI

Je n’arrête pas de repenser à l’article de Ted Chiang dans le New Yorker. Créer, c’est faire des centaines voire des milliers de choix, petits et grands, et parfois arriver dans des contrées qu’on n’avait absolument pas prévu d’explorer au départ. En l’occurrence, je vais peut-être choisir de décréter que j’ai fini mon morceau. Faut voir ^^

From my photography work archive.

Shooting with Merline. It was her first photoshoot & she did great with taking direction 👏 Excellent to work with & fun to chat with too.
She didn't have a lot of wardrobe options so I provided her with some from my shoot closet. She's wearing one of my tops here.

J’allais faire la #sieste quand soudain une idée musicale m’est venue. RIP la sieste, mais j’ai un un début de truc qui me plaît (et pour une fois, la musique est venue avant d’éventuelles paroles…). Les #muses sont impitoyables…

Stefan, one of my 2 local volunteer models for a past themed fake film style warriors photo shoot in East Sooke. I conceptualized it & worked with Kristin Grant to create the bodypaint designs that I imagined in my head. She did a great job & it was a fun collaboration. She's now based in #Kelowna - check out her website:

The leather mask used here was handmade by local #LeatherCrafter - Rad Juli. I met Juli in the local indie artists community. We've collaborated on other photoshoots with some local burlesque performers. Juli is also a rad drummer & active in our local music scene.
