Sludge

Sludge is the residual semi-solid material left from industrial, water treatment, or wastewater treatment processes.

It's easy to get depressed about the state of the world.

I'm making a crochet piece that symbolizes the vomiting up of the sludge burried at the core of self/earth (like lava). Long strings of black organic lumpy shapes with broken pieces of plastic twined into it. Also I am making small bags of compost (a handful each) from recycled plastic bags. Tied with red thread and adorned with glass beads they symbolize the cosmic womb. Each will have a small (tag) that says "this is a sacred place". I envision them hanging from the ceiling (hundreds, thousands of them. No shortage of plastic bags!! I feel so strongly that the trash that we dump into the earth is like the trash my father (the patriarchy) has dumped into me (women). The disregard, the abuse, the usury; It's all too much for me to deal with right now. It’s hard to be so sensitive to the insanity of the world we live in!! If it immobilizes me then what good am I? As long as I can keep working on this "sacred place" project:

I think I'll be alright.
