bio:
writer
Fawn is a writer. She makes films on her own time. She wears many hats if at all. She has formal training in journalism and holds a bachelors of science degree in nursing. She is an aesthete with strong intuition and an approximate knowledge of many things but no one thing in particular. Fawn is a Pisces.
I don’t mind uncomfortable silences (as in you don’t need to fill them.) I like dancing, french fries, champagne, avoiding society’s various traps and trappings and when I come back from the powder room to find my order waiting for me. I am available for interdisciplinary-research-type roles, independent brand consulting, art direction and cultural strategy. I’m working on a monthly newsletter called “Grocery Lists For Sugar Babies” where I try to consistently write some stuff.
I am bored with easy narratives and sorting culture. I don’t think identity is something that is static, for me at least it is often shifting. You can’t ignore material reality. Each of us experiences the world differently not only based on our external manifestation and material realities, but also by our associations.
That being said, to identify something has often historically been an imposition, often on the part of the state or motivated by a need to understand something not as it exists in a moment in time but as it will always be. This is not only counterproductive to exploration but it ignores the concept of growth, change and the reality that we are always in the process of being made even though there are parts of us that are fundamentally stable.
We exist as both a part of and separate from the material realities and systems we exist within at any given moment. That influences not only our identities but also our decisions as well as our choices. Identifying can be a form of power too, say by defining our orientation to better reflect our internal reality. Maybe especially when this orientation is different from the one imposed on us by external material realities that feel incongruent with how we feel inside. Maybe sometimes the power lies in not identifying at all.
We need to move away from the carceral model in our systems and in our relations with one another. Maybe this helps to protect our right to self-discovery and to discovery of deeper truths about the world.
I have come to what I thought was the end of things only to realize that it was just the beginning.
