my bones are branches of a poison tree
Model and make up: Beth Strong
Props made by me.
This shoot is like going back to my roots (goth forever haha) and what feels more personal, and what hurts more, but I can’t take pictures of flowers and magic every time. I made a mix tape on 8tracks for the shoot, it works better if you listen to it while looking at the pictures.
I think we shot it back in January (aaages ago), it also has a funny (or scary) story connected to it – before shooting me and Beth talked a lot about American Horror Story (which influenced this a bit) and listened to creepy music to get us into the mood and it probably lasted for like an hour at which time I finally went back to the first floor because suddenly it felt really chilly in the house. I thought that I left the door to the yard opened, but it was closed and it still was so cold and even windy inside. And then I turned around and I saw that the front door that leads straight into the street was wide open. It was really weird, because it probably was like that for the whole time we were upstairs and I actually passed through it and didn’t notice anything before, it’s also the first time it ever happened in this house. Well as Sister Jude said: “If you look in the face of evil, evil’s gonna look right back at you.”

My bones are branches of a poison treewhere ravens weave their restless sleepand dream into us the darknessthat burns the blood-lust demons that are tearing us apart
.I’m not playing hide and seek,

free the darkness, cold mistress, possessed by shadows
This one is not my idea, just an experiment for university project. Want to do more of stuff like this in the future though.
I adore darkness so much, that I spend hours with curtains down and
lights turned off. And with my eyes closed, because it’s never dark
enough. I sit in the darkness, until I absorb it and it devours me
whole, consumes me and digests me in it’s warm stomach. I feel energies
and power of the whole world pulsing through me. I become the dark. I am
the poison of the night, I feed on the nightmares and only grow
stronger. I curse the lands and I swallow the light, I bathe in death
and death is what I’ll bring to you.
