I prefer texting to talking on the phone, too! Less energy wasted.

Well said. I don't get it either. I enjoy going, and I believe the art should not be explained but interpreted which is why I never ask the artist why. I never really go for why really, unless it was political. I usually go for how, in terms of the technique used. I'm more interested in a process if it was unique and I usually end up buying the piece that was laser cut, then oxidised with zinc, then dipped in wax and polished to create an effect! The hideous ones are my favourite.

:-)

My favorite line in any poem is one by Pablo Neruda, "Lone Gentleman," which starts: "Young homosexuals and girls in love..."

I love this painting all smiles to the artist.

Sometimes people go to art galleries or museums only to say that "yes I've been there " without knowing what is all about . and If you start asking about small details they'll say hmm ya it was nice but ya but no  and change the subject

I can't understand all types of arts, although I paint and have my own; painting is the least fathomable to me!
I appreciate an art picture more (like 6aboog exhibition). sculptures are of interest to me on the other hand.

I still don't get what makes a painting worth millions and what makes it a few dinars, and I stopped trying.
I'm driven to see Art for the sole reason of appreciation for the motivation and dedication the artist go through in the processing of his work.. process is some what mechanical.. but hits the nerve, a dry country (intellectually too!) is a sore country, the environment is not easy on the artist and his creativity. therefore respect envelops the appreciation and force me to pay my respect to these artists.

this my relationship with art.. in a nutshell: don't understand it all but respect and admire it all the way!

cheers

Thought of you the other day when I came across this line in Octavio Paz's "An Erotic Beyond: Sade": "Imagination is the spur of desire, its kingdom is as inexhaustible and infinite as boredom, its opposite and twin."

Evelyne and Brigitte Lamy:

Not twins, Evelyne (left) being nearly two years older than her sister Brigitte (right). The later, a talented professional dancer, sadly died of cancer in New York City in 1992 at age 34.

Love it. Gives an existence to my very thoughts.

At almost 31, I've felt tat I've had a sense of purpose since I was about 14; an early art class where everyone was instructed to draw one of their shoes. I don't have the image any longer - except in memory. Either from the sense of accomplishment, that I'd surprised myself with a strong result, or that art would turn out to be *the* subject for me in a timetable of mediocrity, lacking any enthusiasm, I found a strength.

My personality is such that I grasp for strengths: In matters of career, I was the best for my age. In matters of Love, I walk past the casual, and wait for the truer love and attempt to make it mine, whatever the cost.

I was bullied alot, and was very sensitive as a kid; and for whatever reason not very prepared to defend myself, accepting of criticism: even to the detriment of my psychology: I accepted that others were always right. Painful in social circles, but useful for an art education

As a blog comment, this feels a little like a blog post in itself, but i believe the components that make me, make me the kind that can be comfortable with a 'purpose' that can inspire work to contribute to the human cultural fabric. As such, my work is seen by millions (albeit largely anonymously).

Having a purpose I imagine is alot like having faith in a god - in as much as when you're lost, it's there ready to guide. And I believe from my experience, it affects you as though an aroma of food that inspires hunger, or a smile that inspires attraction..

Having seen others yearn for a purpose, or calling, the purpose you want has to be able to have your loyalty, because you can feel tied down by that purpose..

I think it's got to be one of those Emotional non-decisions, that you just feel compelled to act on.

This is a comment for 'She Said':

I really really like your articles.
I find your writing witty and I love the personal touches you give each post.
The way you relate to each post is really cool.

I hope to see more of you!

I feel your brolly pain He man. I slip away when the attention wanes. You know how easily people will turn into kleptos when umbrellas, and apparently women, are concerned. Maybe the trick is to invest heavily in one top of the range umbrella this rainy season. Engrave your initials on it, don't let it out of your sight. As a brolly/female I tell you we don't mean to get swept up in somebody elses life, we sometimes miss the warm hands of our original owner, but its hard to find your way back when you're swept up in the current. After all, you're just a prop in this equation.

I like the rhythm of this poem and the way it's calling me out of the office to explore the world I can see beyond the office window, past the parking lot, in the horizon. Warm, inviting, pleasant, homey, beckoning...I'm going to stop looking now.

Lovely piece.

2009-12-03T15:40:31.838Z

"MY SECRETS": I HATE babies, some people say HATE is a strong word so let me repeat, I HATE BABIES. I hated babies when I was a baby. I've listened to Michael Jackson almost literally every single day of my life- huge FAN- and I actually wasn't surprised when he died (didn't cry, either). First time writing this, I feel like an "I told you so!" My favorite movie is the 1986 animated "Transformers the Movie". I'm posting some secrets on the web when I should be working on projects at the office, shh...

When I played with dolls I just rearranged their belongings, designed their house and clothes- there's probably dolls in my mom's attic that still have flawless hair.

when I played with dolls with FRIENDS we made them hump things (Ken, other Barbies, GI Joes, Transformers...) and I'm not sure how this would work with Burkha Barbie. Scary thought.
