When I am Sleepy

 

When I am sleepy, when I watch Monet’s willow from behind the soldier’s arm

When I think how he decided to stay, decided not to fight, to sublimely ignore

The revolution…

 

I think about how childhood must be, how dreams are, how there must be a place we can go that is not of this world, though it may be in it. How our minds can set their boundaries at the last quivering leaf, the 80th layer of blue, and then after that, be it war, or want, or misery, that lay beyond it, it simply fades to black.

Art of the Day: Lip

I am going to take the photo archive off of this site and start posting a photo a day at http://gordianknot.wordpress.com.

Much like here, I will post things I have created as well as those that speak to me. I will write about the process of making pictures and the process of experiencing pictures other people make. This will be a way to bridge the work here and at philthyart.com. I hope you enjoy.

Philthy Conversations with Artists: Live Action Blogging

rickpointbw.jpgOkay, so I’ve been in this studio a total of 15 hours in the past 3 days and it isn’t even mine. But who doesn’t love to be in someone else’s studio, telling them how to sexify it? Together, Rick Wright (guy pointing at his photos) and I  have turned his work shed of a studio into a virtual salon.

Why? Besides the fact that it needed it, it was for Studio Tours, a yearly event put on by the Center for Emerging Visual Artists (CFEVA). Basically, Philadelphia artists open their studios for one weekend and anyone can come by, check out their art, drink some wine (we have pumpkin ale and donuts, but that’s just us) and artists can sell some work…

Read the rest at Philthy Art !
