Daily art post: this one’s a stalled work in progress. Finishing it is next on the agenda when I manage to drag myself back into the studio. “Hippocampus” 30” x 40”, oil on canvas. Any crit welcome. #oilpainting #workinprogress #artcritique #artofbluesky #art #memoryloss @bsky.art

A nude female figure sits in the corner of a room. Her skin I’d a magenta with cyan highlights. Her head is resting on her hand. There is something anguished and defeated in her pose. The room is shades of dark blue and at the floor it appears that the walls and floor are spilling i to some sort of void. Above the woman floating in the middle of the room is a very large and luminous sea horse.

#repostyourart day 25: abstract for the art challenge bsky.app/profile/byje... #darkart #sadness #mentalillness #prison #depression #anxiety #isolation #memoryloss #amnesia

in a dark bare prison cell with green-grey padded walls and floor, a man is sitting floating in a corner half a metre above the floor. his arms are curled around him and his head is bent down, looking tired and grim. he is wearing an orange jumpsuit, has bare feet and his head is shaved bald with some electrodes inserted into the skull. a yellow light shines onto the corner walls and the man from an implied barred window. there are white chalk writings all around the walls and floor, of physics equations, graphs, calculations, musical notes, and short phrases of confusion, like "why", some partially smudged out.

This is the bairn I needed to find before I could finish #LandBeneaththeWaves, though it took me several years of writing before I realised just how lost she was and how much she needed rescuing. #lifewriting #childhoodtrauma #chronicillness #memoryloss uk.bookshop.org/p/books/l….

Land Beneath the Waves: How the Natural World Helped One Woman Navigate Chronic Illness, Self-Acceptance and Belonging a book by Nic Wilson.

A moving, honest and revealing memoir of living with chronic illness, and an examination of the ways a relationship with the natural world can affect us, from debut author and nature writer Nic Wilson...

And here's me holding my dad's binoculars. I don't remember the first 7.5 years of my life, so photos like this are precious as they are proof of my early childhood. In 'The Nightingale's Tale' chapter, I did what I'd never dared before - entered the labyrinth on a quest to find the lost child. 2/4

A toddler in a yellow anorak and white hat holding a large pair of binoculars that she's looking through.

A man’s voice. Firm. Professional. Not unkind, but cold in the way that doctors often were when delivering death sentences.

Judah gasped and clutched at his head as though he could trap the thoughts before they escaped again, fingers threading into his hair in desperation. But it was already too late—the memory shifted, disintegrated, and something else surged up to take its place.

"How are you feeling now? Did everything heal?" A different voice—clinical, detached.

I sometimes post about #dementia related #memoryloss & the care journey I have been on with my parents in the hope that others going through a similar situation may find some of my experiences & perspectives helpful. My long-form writing can be found on the Medium platform: medium.com/@james.anok

Read writing from James Anok on Medium. Writing & photography helps me anchor myself to the world of the physical, and it reminds me that my eyes were not only meant for rectangles of man made light.

Knowing that memory loss affects 40% of all U.S. adults over the age of 65, public libraries identified a need they could solve. So, in 2013, they came upon the idea of Memory Cafés, a support group with a special twist. buff.ly/MlcGvD9 #Libraries #Services #MemoryLoss #SupportGroup #MemoryCafés
