A woman in a bathroom, seen through an open door. Her hair is wet, and she wears a towel. Behind her is a shower stall and a toilet; in front of her, a sink partly seen. She slouches slightly, looking at an unseen mirror on the wall above the sink.

Poster for closing party for "Entropy," featuring an image of a woman with back turned to the camera, looking across a field at twilight. A derelict windmill and tractor are in the background, and the wind blows through the woman's hair.

A Window

A view of a woman from the outside, as she stands lost in thought by a window in a darkened room looking out at the night.

A woman in Edwardian nightwear stands in darkness at a doorway, holding a candle that illuminates the top half of her figure. She looks off to the left, at something behind the door.

Bread

#DigitalArt #VirtualArt #VirtualPhotography #SecondLife
A woman in an 17th century peasant dress and cap stands with her back turned to the viewer by a wooden table, looking down at a cutting board with a cut loaf of bread, another with butter, a bowl of apples, and a jug. The scene is lit by candles, and the illumination from a fireplace in the left background.

Happy to share my piece for @theguardian.com on the mainstreaming of fascist fashion. If we want to fight this, we first need to learn to recognize (and name) its aesthetics, especially today. Check it out 🗃️https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/oct/15/fascist-fashion-language

So insidious and nefarious is the international criminal conspiracy #Antifa, that it has even infiltrated #SecondLife!

A woman, naked but visible only from the shoulders up, and wearing only a loose-fitting white veil over her head, is seen from the side. She looks at the camera with an ambiguous expression.
