shannon kringen thoughts for goddess kring expression

 

I feel like I'm in touch with my masculine side when I think about spreading my seed everywhere. Like my artwork is my seed that I want to spread everywhere. My music photography, poetry videos, stories about my life life performing on stage. All of the different creative things. I do the art modelling that I do loving the animals that I help care for. I feel like I'm spreading my seeds everywhere! So it feels like maybe that's a little bit masculine like the male anatomy that spreads its seed everywhere. I think I relate to that idea, whereas the female just has one egg per month and right now I'm not even fertile anymore. So I don't even have any female eggs. But I still feel like I'm spreading my sperm everywhere even though I don't have any sperm. Sorry if this sounds crude to some people. I think that metaphors are kind of fun when you think about the male and female anatomy and how it's kind of a metaphor for nuts and bolts. And like everything in nature is like the shape of a male and female. The shape of flowers, the shape of nails and screws and there's male and female shapes all over the place in man-made and nature shapes!

I am so absolutely grateful for the wonderful videographer that I found to work with on these music videos that I'm doing for the Goddess Kring music!!! So it ain't about you babe and Cactus Hugging Vulnerable Viking. Those two songs will have two new videos done very soon within the next couple weeks and then I hope to make more music videos. I would love to do a music video for every single song that we do! I'm really grateful that I can make a living in all the creative ways that I do and then I can have total freedom in my artwork! RJMediaSeattle is the videographer on Instagram if you want to look him up! I love the way he can hand hold his camera with a gimbal to get all the different angles and flow with it around the subject matter and then he has the drone aeroplane camera so he can fly above from high and low and get 360° camera angles... Beautiful video work!

Multi Media Artist Shannon Kringen grew up in San Diego California and Whidbey Island Washington. She is a self taught photographer with a background in Graphic Design. She has worked as a figure model in Seattle since 1992. She completed her BA degree in Arts and Literature from Antioch University in 2013. She sees her creative expression as a tool to connect with community and a way of increasing self awareness and tap into a deeper wisdom within. In her own words, "I write as it flows into my brain. inspired by songwriters and nature.

I am neurodivergent and see shapes when I hear music. SYNESTHESIA is part of my reality. (“Synesthesia is when your brain routes sensory information through multiple unrelated senses, causing you to experience more than one sense simultaneously. Some examples include tasting words or linking colors to numbers and letters.) My poems are visual and musical as well as written words. double and triple entendres...paradox rocks! Ann Spiers was Vashon Island’s inaugural Poet Laureate and steward of its Poetry Post in its town park. Besides teaching, she served as Vashon Land Trust staff, Audubon president, and field assistant in the Cascade volcanoes. Poetry published recently are Back Cut (Black Heron), Rain Violent and Wild Cucumber New and Selected Poems (Empty Bowl), chapbook Harpoon (Ravenna’s Triple chapbooks series). Wild Cucumber is a glorious expression of Ann Spiers’ inimitable voice and singular sensibility. The work is painterly – juicy, viscid language pulled across the page in sure and sharp brushstrokes. She has a kind of clairvoyance, sees in every landscape its concurrent past, and future; in the baby in her arms, the man. She adores, openly, and completely without sentimentality – the larva-riddled berry received on the tongue like eucharist. Spiers’ study of haiku tradition is evident, and the concluding ensō an apt motif. Each poem is a gift and a wonder, at once plain, almost austere, and wholly ripe, swollen to bursting. (Reviewed by Sati Mookherjee, author of Eye and Ways of Being.) Edward Harkness is a Shoreline poet and English professor emeritus. In his book, Creek Water: New & Selected Poems, Ed offers a wide-ranging selection of his poems written over five decades, all united by his ever-attentive eye, inquisitive mind and compassionate heart. These narrative poems quietly and evocatively explore parallels between the personal and the historic, setting ordinary details of daily life alongside world events ranging from the Civil War to the hanging of poet Benjamin Moloise in Pretoria. Whether writing about the joys of a long marriage, fatherhood, or the challenge of facing his own mortality, Harkness reminds us that history and our lives are made of moments that when witnessed deeply, generously, and compassionately can transform. Shimmering like the stones in the creek water he praises, these poems look to the past while speaking to our current times, to “the world breaking your heart and somehow mending it.” You can enjoy your favorite beverage and listen to poetry too!

our music is my heart and soul

 

Really anxious to pay the licencing fee and get the mix done for the Tom Petty cover We did of the waiting and get that out there and published and really want to make some music videos for our new songs. I want to do at least four music videos. One for cactus hugging vulnerable Viking, One for lonely in the sand, One for it ain't about you babe, And one for Cowboy Kring. All original songs that I wrote the words to and sang and Dave did the music for and I'm really proud of them and I think they're really interesting. Well done and unique songs that deserve to be heard and I want them out there in the public. So there's one video editor person who did a couple videos with me and I think he wants to do another one. Maybe I could ask him to do like three or four more videos? Or maybe I could pay somebody to help me make videos where I lip sync to my songs. I really want to do it. Thanks Dave Flowers for doing all of this amazing music with me. It's an absolute dream come true and I'll never take it for granted. It means more to me than anything in my entire life. My heart and soul are in this music
