Poppy Vanitas
I’ve known poppy Vanitas in a variety of forms:
a movement instructor. Doula. Artist. Haunt performer. Parent. All-around magical Friend.
Poppy put on a one-hour bubble show at The Bad Fae Ball, hosted at Fallout, and invited me to take some pictures.
A trend I’ve noticed about my multi-hyphenate artist friends is that regardless of what implement they decide to wield with that creative muscle, the acuity and resonance of expression remains similar if not the same. At a given point, each practice enhances the other(s) and vice versa.
I guess the same could be said for my own creative cacophony — despite how unbelievable the inner critic can make it seem.
Another thing that comes to mind is how someone showing up and wholly embodying what they do inspires me to perform at my best (and better).
What you’re seeing in these photos is literally one of the most ephemeral artistic expressions: here and gone in and instant, yet captured to be enjoyed for life..
