it’s funny to feel both thrilled and saddened
at the same time… but it does get you thinking…

there are times in life when all of a sudden
you are confronted with “the future”
in all its looming vastness
it seems to come out of nowhere
but in truth it was always there…

a recent sagitarian horoscope…
“goodbye doesn’t mean forever.
close the chapter on an old situation,
and a new level of freedom & energy takes hold.
a fabulous offering is presented to you before the sun goes down”

Last night Dan attempted to make his birthday last forever by
keeping me up til 4:30am watching episode after episode of My So-Called Life, not that i was complaining, in fact i was so overjoyed that this show lived up to-and maybe even surpassed-my glorified memories of it.

Angela (the main disgruntled character) can deliver these really profound ideas that are perfectly peppered with “like”s and “whatevers” and usually in the context of boy obsessions or zits… sure she’s a typical depressed teenager but i really admire how wholeheartedly she gives herself over to all of her feelings and causes.

And, in other exciting news, they are making a sequel to the Dark Crystal!

at the moment i am attempting to digitally represent my installation proposal for this Conversions show. i took a few pictures of a space in the gallery that was the most inviting to be invaded by soft hanging sculpture, and now i am airbrushing and layering my ideas & forms into the space. after i have photoshopped my sculptures into the space, i will introduce some human life into the scenario. i need to represent how the installation receives its viewers…they are the catalyst that brings the installation to life…they have to navigate through the space i’ve invaded…

the idea is that the forms will float slightly above waist height, creating a faux horizon in the room. i want the viewer placed right at that horizon level, so that they can see above & below it equally. i want the installation to create a distorted perspective, to transverse the horizon…

this weekend i think i managed to
praise & curse the snow in equal amounts…
and true it kept some important people
from coming to our valentines party,
but for myself & those that came, it added a lil’ something..

not much art happened this weekend,
it was more about copious amounts of
chocolate and rose petals,
dancing/scaring our guests away,
watching the wonderful veronica mars,
and celebrating the birth of my man.

damn, i am so gonna be late for work…

ink blossom came about when my lovely printer decided to
deposit a random splotch of ink on this hawaiian flower photo
not to be outdone by a printer with an attitude problem,
i grabbed my pen & ink and embellished the splotch until
it blossomed out into this sketchy linear layer that seemed to
accentuate/activate the power of this dying tropical flower.
