Greetings! Call me Xygenexos Scaldor-Pitch. maybe Xy once we’ve become aquainted. I am a poet, artist and diviner taking my fascination with knot tying and rope into a new level of focus. I live in the United States, garden a little and I like to read zines.
There are just as many reasons I write as make art, divine or study topics that interest me. I write to process what my experiences are and capture fleeting thoughts before they fly off into the aether possibly not to return this way again. I make art for these reasons as well and in both cases I seek self expression. I divine as a tool of personal growth to point out places I maybe need to pay more attention to, as well as how much I enjoy the very physical ritual acts of pendulum, bones and tarot. This thread of connection to physicality is perhaps a good portion of what draws me to rope. Rope is at least the premise under which I am starting this blog and may or may not be the only topic I write about. It is hard for me to imagine having an outlet for creative engagement and limiting myself to one topic though, so I have picked the five.
I have been interested in rope for a very long time and also knots, they have always fascinated me even when I struggle to untie them sometimes. I intend to record my rope journey in a more focused way here in the hopes that it does not continue to become set aside or derailed right at the beginning as it has been. I am mostly interested in tying myself and do intend to keep this site not too provocative at the moment. There are other sites for that which I might implement at some point, but this space is meant to be a container for exploration that has boundaries just like the rope I tie with.
I want to get to know myself and this community of rope artists better and I figure, what better way than hosting a platform for creative expression, exploration and knowledge; mine and yours? I am improving my health by attending to that which my heart and mind are in agreement on. In this case that happens to be getting better with a skill that is a wearable hug. Hugs are great and this kind travels differently.
