walking the margins

The photos

Project menu

01: STRINGS AND STICKS

My ligaments try to hold me together. They do their best — which isn’t very good. A bit like these captions.

02: I HATE HUGS

Seriously though, they low-key hurt a bit. Sorry, my nervous system hates me.

03: Compactor

Ever feel like you are being squished like a pear between two bricks?

04: support systems

As you can see...mine are a little rough.

05: Mission Impossible

The rock is my to do list. I’m the egg.

06: Nervous Lamp

Reminds me of a blow-up car sales statue in the wind but its actually just my nervous system being helecopter parent.

07: Margins break

You know those videos of watermelons wrapped in rubber bands bursting? That’s perfectionism...

08: Waiting for the ball to drop

I have bad luck, what can I say...

09: Spaced out

Have you seen my brain? I think it grew legs and walked away.

10: Mushrooms and nerves?

Here is a tower of mushrooms. It is a bit quirky like my ‘unique’ nervous system.

11: My body is a lemon

My body is a bit of a lemon. A system that’s not quite right - she’s built different.

12: This might hurt a bit

I don’t think you are meant to grate something as fragile as an egg.

13: Comfort Plus

My back hurts.

14: Snooze Plush Back Support

Still hurts...

15: Coils

Sometimes it feels like I have snakes constricting my legs. Couldn’t get any of those, so here are some party balloons.

16: Built to last

Do you see any strong ligaments here? No? Neither do I...

17: Brain Fog

I often get my words in a bit of a knot. My brain forgets it is a brain rather frequently.

18: Lemon Squash

Sometimes the blood pooling in my legs feels a bit like a weighted blanket. Small wins.

19: Medical mystery

I am known to be a bit of a medical mystery much like the intention behind this image.

20: my plate is full

Yes I know I chose the wrong crockery for the saying. I didn’t mean to. [Insert face-palm emoji]

21: It’s a balancing act

My balance has a tendancy to wobble. Apparently its a bit of a lack of blood flow not a unique walking style.

22: Powered by a lemon

You probably shouldn’t put powercords into a lemon. But anyways, here’s a photo about energy levels.

23: Lobotomy?

Do you think acupuncture to the brain would help?

24: Nevermind

Apparently it’s not an option.

25: Cliff Hanger

I saw a salt bush at Bunnings and thought — I love those. So naturally I put an egg in one.

26: Blocked

My right hand has a bit of a jammed signal to it so she can be a little funky sometimes.

27: Creative Block I

Was running out of ideas so here’s a brick on a paint brush...

28: Creative Block II

Here’s that poor paint brush again.

29: CURB NUDGER

My car suspension needs help and so do I.

30: Spoon Race

This is about the spoon theory. If you don’t understand it —Google it. I don’t have the energy.

30: One Percent

I need to mentally prepare for this.

32: Humpty Dumpty

This playground has a slippery slope — a bit like my mental state.

33: Procrasti-can’t

Do you ever feel stuck? When you know there are things that need doing but you just can’t get up...

34: Are you claustrophobic

If you have ever been in an MRI machine you will probably get this image.

35: Egg and pasta

A good representation of my posture...

36: Utterly confuzzled

Are you confused? So am I.

37: So I bought a potato

This was meant to be a cake but I couldn’t afford one, so I bought a potato instead. Enjoy.

38: Some assembly required — often

Sometimes I feel like a poorly constructed kids lego tower... on a Wednesday particularly.

39: Lemon ligamentus

Yes I know this looks a bit like pasta but its meant to be my overly stretchy ligaments.

40: staples?

If your toilet paper feels like this call 000.

41: It’s fiiine

This lovely assortment of objects is a pretty accurate representation of both my ankle and mental stability.

42: Weight on my shoulders

You’d think my shoulders would be jacked by the weight I usually carry on them.

43: Clockwork

I can’t make the meaning behind this one funny so I am just not going to give context instead.

44: Never ending story

At least my life’s plot is interesting.

45: my body feels heavy

I get tired. A lot.

46: High Stakes

If it’s not perfect, what’s the point.
