The Vagnia's Sculpture!

Clay dome like sculpture covered in grotesque-ish vaginas!

JEFFREY EUGENIDES

"Emotions, in my experience, aren’t covered by single words. I don’t believe in “sadness,” “joy,” or “regret.” Maybe the best proof that the language is patriarchal is that it oversimplifies feeling. I’d like to have at my disposal complicated hybrid emotions, Germanic train-car constructions like, say, “the happiness that attends disaster.” Or: “the disappointment of sleeping with one’s fantasy.” I’d like to show how “intimations of mortality brought on by aging family members” connects with “the hatred of mirrors that begins in middle age.” I’d like to have a word for “the sadness inspired by failing restaurants” as well as for “the excitement of getting a room with a minibar.” I’ve never had the right words to describe my life, and now that I’ve entered my story, I need them more than ever."

Awesome artist alert...

The Denver art museums Embrace exhibit is over now (I think?) but it was a show worth going to over and over, staying all day staring at, and sneaking into the museum bathroom to sleep there so you can sleep near the artworks.... But I really can't stop thinking about this Shinique smith piece so i thought I must share it...

I'm not entirely sure what the artist was going for but I can't get my own twisted ideas out of my head. I've got this crime scene idea that it looks like a blue mangled body hung by a noose with blood splattered all over the wall... there's even a bird which could symbolize freedom from the material world!

But anyhow, she's an artist worth checking out especially if your into graffiti, I think she has a real street art quality to her work.

Old art!

Found a few pictures of art on my computer from freshman year...

some little sketchbook doodles...

be so pleasant.



HOMAGE

There are a few things I will miss,
A girl with no shirt on
lighting a cigarette

and brushing her hair in the mirror.
The sound of a mailbox
opening somewhere,

and closing at two in the morning
of the first snow,
and the words for them.



"If I find in myself desires
which nothing in this world
can satisfy, the only logical
explanation is that I was
made for another world"

Paper fashion show at Mile High Station in Denver

There were some real insane/amazing/horrifying/tickiling outfits at the show and tons of people, luckily I didn't trip or faint on the runway! Plus as a delightful treat I got my makeup and hair professionally done before the show, I don't think I've ever spent more time washing my face in my life... But, it was an intense event and a great example of how much talent I have to compete with in the art world! Below the first picture is the 1st place winner, and the big green one (on stilts!) is the audience choice!

Just because I must...

On a different more extreme note, somewhere out there people are making dresses out of condoms (makes paper dresses look so boring).
