HNT – Still life with brand and apple.

February 26, 2009 |

hnt-2-26

The apple, which is, as we know, the Fruit Of Knowledge and Medical Intervention,  is a Pink Lady.

The brand is of my initials, MW, flowing together.

It was burned onto my skin over Folsom Street Fair weekend 6 years ago.

It was a way for me to take possession of myself, and to remember what choice means.

Remembering that it wasn’t all that long ago people were, perforce, branded as property gave a pretty profound twist to this newly hip fetish …and i wanted to take that back for myself :-)

Happy Happy HNT!

    naively, i didn’t know that when people said they wanted to get branded, they meant they wanted to get *branded*… in a long lasting sense

    it looks great :)
