Charmer
I learned how to silkscreen Friday, how rad! Went back to countdown county this weekend and got my 3x3's, I'm going to stretch them soon and get to work. I'm enjoying working larger.. I always worry about my things being too precious because of how small they are. The line between intimate and precious is awfully fine, so why not completely go the opposite direction and just terrify myself with scale, hm? I brought my work in to portfolio today as people have been doing the past week, and showed the class heaps upon heaps of my work (too much, oops, sorry!). It was suggested that my dreams are weird and unique and interesting. I sincerely doubt that I am the only one with dreams, or 'interesting dreams' as it was said. I think it's more just a matter of training yourself to be open and to be interested enough in remembering them. And shutting off all that damn technological clatter, your cell phone and facebook feed, eek (say I, as I type this on a computer, on a blog, on the internet, haha, oi vey, but you know what I am saying?) and letting your mind take a deep breath. I think it's interesting that people don't wonder about their dreams more, honestly. I mean, every night, a whole play unfolds, an entire tapestry of characters, details, situations, plots loosely or tightly structured or no plot at all, with an abundance of such arbitrary and minute things! And they exist for a night? Maybe a few? Or perhaps repetitiously? In the framework of my mind, while I sleep? Why? How? Hm and hm. That's all.
