Researchers at the University of Washington have made a significant discovery in the field of Alzheimer's disease. Their findings reveal that immune cells in the brains of individuals suffering from Alzheimer's disease behave differently than those present in healthy brains. This breakthrough has the potential to pave the way for new therapies aimed at improving the lives of those affected by the disease. #AlzheimersAwareness #ResearchBreakthrough #HopeForAD

I haven't kept any of the Memory Seed Bomb paintings. They're not mine, after all; they belong to the memory-holders, not me. So as I work on the installation side of this mail art/guerilla gardening series, I'm painting some new seed bombs to pull it all together. Hence a forget-me-not seed forget-me-not seed bomb. Meta. 😂

Hi Fediverse! I have #CommisionsOpen for a very small, very niche, very FREE run of momento moris. I paint tiny memorials for people lost to Alzheimer's/dementia. Give me a small consumer good that reminds you of your loved one and I will paint it on a paper mache seed bomb full of forget-me-not seeds. Suitable for framing or planting, whatever feels right. I'm taking ten FREE submissions through EOY. Details/form here. http://www.kaseysmith.net/memory-seed-bombs #mastoart #artistsonmastodon #AlzheimersAwareness

Amazing research! #AI & #AR created an App to help us understand what it’s like to live with dementia & Alzheimer’s..

Sing praise of neuritin's power,
A protein that staves off Alzheimer's hour.
Its protective might
Resists our brains' plight
Safeguarding us from cognitive decline.

Have you lost a loved one to Alzheimer's/dementia? I paint unique memento moris designed to celebrate their memories & hold space for their loss. Each is a to-scale, realistic, seed bomb containing forget-me-not seeds. Designed to be planted instead of displayed on a wall or shelf, they're an exercise in remembrance, growth, & letting go. "Commissions" available on my site. http://www.kaseysmith.net/memory-seed-bombs

My first Memory Seed Bomb of 2023. These are hand painted memorials to victims of Alzheimer's, dementia, and other memory disorders. Each represents a simple memory or association someone has with their loved one. Painted on paper mache infused with forget-me-not seeds, they're designed to be planted instead of displayed in a frame. I do these for **FREE** and the commission portal on my site is currently open. http://www.kaseysmith.net/memory-seed-bombs

Haven't properly cleaned since dad passed away earlier this year.
Depression and grief is an indescribable pain. It's not gonna be a cleaning day, it's a weekend's work.

But yeah, please enjoy a pic of my extremely filthy home and emotional/mental state.
