ReplyDeleteagain - keep up with your lists and the way you write - it is specific and interesting, deep and fresh.
A lot of them seem to talk about the process something goes through, the minute details people generally miss about things, items usually considered ugly and generally - things people don't really stop to think about for long.
Have you ever used house paint to paint on a canvas/piece of wood before? I had a friend in high school who used it, and I tried it as well as a result - it's actually a really great material to experiment with. You should try it.
ReplyDeleteEverything inspires you! I can dig that. it's almost like the idea of art is what inspires you, that something/anything can be art, can inspire the idea of "what can this be? what does it MEAN"
