"I created this work toward the beginning of when I realized I had an addictive personality, while on a trip in San Diego in 2018. It reminds me of learning how to swim as a kid, being isolated, and overcoming certain traits while feeling like I’m not able to catch my breath. Many times a drowning sensation would overcome me when I first began to address my defects....

Six hours after I thought I saw you on the bus, I was still looking over my shoulder. Suddenly I was seeing my hair the way you might have been seeing it - my tangled headphones, my tapping foot, my posture slightly slouched against the glass of the window - all through your eyes instead of mine. I wish I wore something other than this old black hoodie today. Words: Kyleigh McPhillips. Want to submit a fleeting thought?

The cut on her arm is thin, beaded at one end with blood. Fresh and untouched. Does she know it’s there or did her paper skin catch on some sharp piece of life and quietly tear?

"Surrender is about coming to terms with the result of a break-up. The title came from the lyric “When I’m in your arms I can finally surrender” in I Feel Alive by TOPS. All of the songs have sentimental value to me and the many feelings I’ve had during the entire process. These mixed feelings have stemmed from reminiscing on the past to attempting to come to terms with the outcome. [ 88 more words ]

Game of Shrooms is TODAY! Happy hunting!

Game of Shrooms is a once a year world-wide art N seek event created by Attaboy. Artists from all over the world create original works and hide the mushroom themed works in public spaces, give hints on Instagram for others to find AND KEEP.

Game of Shrooms is like an Easter Egg Hunt for art and celebrates the spirit of unexpected surprises. In 2019, artists and gatherers from Hong Kong, Berlin, Japan, the UK, India, Russia, Switzerland, the US, and many more participated in the world-wide event, creating a world-wide non-religious, no cost, personally interactive “art show” of making and sharing, suspense and sometimes absolute freakin’ wonder.
