LibsterI’ve been obsessed with drawing circles and didn’t know why. Then I recently looked again at Ruth Asawa’s work and realized that she’s often doing the same motion over and over (certainly with her metal sculpture). It’s certainly art, but it’s also an act of endurance. So now I’m thinking that I might be into it as an act of self soothing during such a horrific time. #art #drawing #magicinthemundane
Richard Paul@Libby For years I was obsessed with pairing numbers so they added up to 7, and then picturing those numbers as domino dots. I also found myself singing (in my head) the same 32 musical notes. Then, when I was 63, I was diagnosed as #actuallyautistic (and learned that that behavior was likely an act of self soothing), which has been revelatory. https://youtu.be/bvdZleKAlTU
Who doesn't need a little Megan Thee Stallion to get through the day?
DoomsdaysCWYay to self-soothing, @Spacehistory ! I have similar "obessions". @Libby
