Quiet

I've been realizing lately that I like quiet powerful images, or images that highlight just one thing, like pink reflected light on a white wall.

In LOVE with this artist - Jessica Jackson Hutchins

I copied about 20 of her pieces into my phone, and haven't been able to get them onto my computer. But google her name and look at everything. So so good.

I also am in love with Merlin James. I may have already mentioned this, but just wanted to reiterate.

What I like and want today

I go to a lot of exhibitions, and lately I've been feeling like a need a break. There's only so much art you can look at before getting bored, getting jaded, or accidentally borrowing things you like without realizing it. Too much looking can start to wear away at your senses, and the way that your gut reacts to things.

This time of year always makes me want to drive endlessly, wearing a loose tank top and a skirt and the wind in my hair, and ice cream, and pick-up trucks, and just wandering into nowhere sunny and warm. I think that's how I reeducate my gut, that soaking in of life instead of contained life, which I think is a big part of what art does.

At City Limits last fall I think?

Some things I sort of like

Sometimes there are things that I don't necessarily like, but I do find them interesting or curious, or appreciate them in some way. These images are like that.
