art jail: SOLITARY CONFINEMENT pt.2

December 26th, 2007 by derya

it is still on.
equal opportunity a-hole is totes what i am.

no family- no friends- no break

no one gets to see me save hobby lobby employees and the mail lady- if she’s lucky.

but call me, i totes have phone privileges in this joint.

as far as progress, i have several pieces started, working on all of them little by little pretty much all day, and i will start posting as they finish themselves.

some brainfood for thought?

*is it worth trying new things, branching out aesthetically and in terms of medium and focus, or should i just stick to what i know and make things that might blow your mind, but not really expand mine.

*age old debate, less designy more fine art? or heavier design and argue the fine art element (not functional not practical not addressing a problem except the lack of chic stuff) later

*also what’s the point of functionless, strictly chic, conceptual design pieces?

*what’s the point of changing out of your pajamas if you aren’t going to leave the house?

*what’s up with my eyes being so ka-razy light sensitive?

*butternut squash ravioli, a little mozzarella, and regular ragu tomato sauce?

what do you think? tell me. we can talk all this over, on the phone.

    - trying new things, absolutely necessary (come on, you know this)

    - design v. fine art, more contingent on your personal aesthetic. do you want to make functional objects?

    - the purpose of functionless, conceptual pieces? duh, they’re pretty.

    - changing pajamas helps keep the smell at bay.

    - you need glasses.

    - dinner menu = deliciousness. can i come?
