Lush The Thing With Feathers | The Thing With Feathers is a new body of work currently in-progress.

The title is borrowed from an Emily Dickinson poem, “Hope” is the thing with feathers. I’m exploring desire and Lacan’s concept of objet petit a.

More to come soon.

I am marked and distinguished by the pattern of my desire as by a fingerprint. And yet, isn’t it obvious that I myself am not the author of my desires? I can’t simply decide to have desire for something. In a certain crucial sense, desire comes to me from beyond myself. -Richard Boothby (Sex on the Couch: What Freud Still Has to Teach Us About Sex and Gender, p. 22) www.chrissylush.com
