Reassurance.

tattoo

"Only after disaster can we be resurrected. 
It's only after you've lost everything that you are free to do anything''

My first tattoo. It is part of a quote I say to myself whenever I feel down or when i feel like I am in a disaster, or I feel like I am loosing everything. It reminds me, everything will be okay.  It reminds me of all the things I have overcome in my life. So by getting the first line, I can say the seconded line to myself, remembering why I got it. It is a quote from Fight Club, my favorite book and movie.  Im ready for my next one.

having control with the unexpected.

 

this is just like my last experiment i did with the note cars, but this time i did it with bigger cards.

some day i hope to do this with canvas, so these just wont be small. go big or go home.

the seventh and last one are my favorite.

also the large one, where i smear the paint on, has not been photographed because something tells me not to.  so i wont. until then. enjoy these.

Nothing.

i made this with a broken record player and overlapping it with a song by John Brion that was the theme song for Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind. 

i recently bought a digital voice recorder and hope to make more audio.

let it happen naturally.

after cleaning up after my installation in frame 301, i got to keep the wax and wanted to make something for the best minds show.

wood, old book pages, encaustic wax, screw

"Meltdown."

wax balls were given to amber and i and we placed them on the metal tubes and weird shelf things.

then sun melted the wax in the frame, creating drips and pools of wax.

i took pictures through the glass, that is why you can see the clouds.

i took these after the wax had been in there for a week, the balls of wax had fallen to the ground.

no face.

i really enjoy this picture. I think it is the soft light and the fact I cannot see her face.

its getting the best of me.
