I bleed for art
In all of my works there is a symbol that I use, you cannot we it though because it is always underneath a wash of red. There is something special about this symbol though, it is always drawn in my own blood.
It gives me a feeling of deep connection to my artworks because of this fact, it's like a part of me is always with the painting and as a result, I tend to work much more carefully on my paintings and artworks than anyone else.
When I bleed, it is alway from my nose. I build up a fire in the grate and wait until the room is quite hot and my blood vessels are dilated; then I scrape the inside of my nose with a fingernail I keep long until I bleed.
Sometimes, it happens so easily that it doesn't even hurt, it just flows out like a river; pouring out so quickly that I have to catch it with a cup.
Sometimes I don't get much blood and I have to keep re-opening the cut to get enough which is annoying.
Sometimes it hurts. It hurts so much that I start to cry and wail, but I still do it because my artwork wouldn't be finished if I didn't mark it in my own special way.
Sometimes if I have excess blood then I make black pudding and give it to my dog to eat. I love my dog so much, I would die for her. It makes me love her even more and gives me a deeper connection to her because she has eaten part of me.
I don't get any sexual pleasure from hurting myself or from letting my dog consume part of me and us being together forever.
I would never dream of giving part of myself to anyone but my dog or myself. One, no one would ever consent to it and two; I just don't feel like I have a connection strong enough to give them a part of myself.
It's about as meaningful as 50 cent is a metaphor for change lol
Any meaningful art contains blood, sweat, and tears but feeding your nose blood to your dog is definitely weird. Maybe you should create performance art out of that process.
