diviner (too to the point, but a nice title)

this object

[no title yet] (shell, magnet, & cock ring)

"at hand"

perhaps one is a set of drawings that i will exhibit together - made on and with stuff that i have around. [but this is also how i almost always make drawings, so perhaps this is just a blanket name for my drawings.]

owl and table cloth brings...

i've made a new sculpture for an upcoming themed exhibition (themed around Italian superstitions). owls are bad luck in Italy.
no title yet - perhaps Harbinger, Bellwether, Crier or something like that.

just what's been going on in my studio

 big drawing in progress - Window, Baltimore (charcoal rubbing and acrylic on paper), and some finished sketches/ideas/etc

security and stained glass

not everything is unpacked yet, there are many errands yet to do, but Allie and i have made time to work in our studios a little bit every day. this is a drawing/sketch i made today. it is a rubbing of the fence/gate that is over our downstairs windows and acrylic paint. (please excuse the bad photo, we haven't found out studio lights yet... or painted the walls)

new hex in progress

Penny Hex
-four feet across / 1245 pennies will be inlaid in 3/4" plywood / will be cut into a circle & shellacked

(pennies read like a series of poems)

sails and stones

when i read about art or theory i often substitute nouns and verbs to make the statement into something about me and my practice. thus, i turn

"palimpsest-like surfaces — evidence of her working everything out on the canvas"
-from John Yau's review of Katherine Bradford's exhibition.

into, palimpsest-like surfaces: evidence of working everything out on the piece. which leads me to this piece:

 i don't have a title yet, but i know it's about moving/traveling (as i'll be moving to Baltimore very soon) - hence the sail shape; luck and charms (the stones and beads); and ephemerality. i've also been thinking about, and looking at, the Cy Twombly sculptures at the Art Institute a lot. perhaps i should say that there is some Dan Gunn, Ian Hamilton Finlay, and maybe even some Rashid Johnson in there too.

i've made 4 of these things now and i'm gunna make more. i like how loose, fun, and expressive these things are - but i'm bothered by what this means. so it comes with some great insight that i find Yau's review of Bradford's paintings, which caries this pertinent quote near the end:

"one should not be surprised by how many artists find a way to be a conceptual artist that paints."

Ghost in the Graveyard

a test of the sound/sculpture installation titled Ghost in the Graveyard that i will be showing in a 2 person exhibition (me and Bill Conger) at Box 13, in Houston, TX, in November. one of these set-ups will be installed in every Northeast corner in the space.

"melancholy... the most voluptuous of all sensations"

In [t]his depression and dreadful uninterrupted suffering, I don't condemn life. On the contrary, I like it and find it good. Can you believe it? I find everything good and pleasant, even my tears, my grief. I enjoy weeping, I enjoy my despair. I enjoy being exasperated and sad. I feel as if these were so many diversions, and I love life in spite of them all. I want to live on. It would be cruel to have me die when I am so accommodating. I cry, I grieve, and at the same time I am pleased -- no, not exactly that -- I know not how to express it. But everything in life pleases me. I find everything agreeable, and in the very midst of my prayers for happiness, I find myself happy at being miserable. It is not I who undergo all this -- my body weeps and cries; but something inside of me which is above me is glad of it all.
-Journal de Marie Bashkirtseff (via William James' The Varieties of Religious Experience)

money, health, & art

a lineage of images on health & my work from past year:

hey luv269, I would luv to see a pic if possible. from what you describe I can totally picture a huge mushroom head on the tip uhh god! luv to try and fit that in my mouth. I have to say I tried fooling around with hubby and he was not into it and said go find someone to take care of you. Now i don't know how serious he was so, i went to work today with a light see thru kinda skirt commando. And let this guy I work with see the kitty well actually I kinda leaned over and I'm sure he saw but I did it 2x to him. I started to get wet and got nervous I will try again tomorrow. He seems like he has a big dick from the bulge in his pants. Oh well keep you posted!!

Anyway once the "mushroom" head goes in, the rest is roses. keep at him, you're gonna luv the sex with him. you wont want to stop, i had to practically fight my girl off me the first time. Would luv to see you in action, i reakon you are gonna go off!!!!!

Hey luv269 and LongStrong, So I went back to work yesterday in a sun dress but this time I took my thong off at work in the ladies room. I walked out and started feeling frisky already. So I went to the mail room and kinda let the three guys back there see the kitty. Anyway the guy that i work with that has the bulge started flirting with me via IM and it got hot. He stopped over my desk and while I pulled away from my desk I opened my legs and let him see it. At first he wasn't trying to look and he got all red and I asked him why. He was like is that what I think it is? Sure is ,So I asked to see his and he took it out at my cube and WOW huge dick all length. So i just gave it a few long strokes and got him rock hard. I'm talking purple head and i then just put my lips around the mushroom but I wouldn't suck it. I just licked it a little and he wanted more. But i want to play a little and build it up a little before I let him shove that in me. I have a tight little ass too and am tempted to try anal. My co-worker stuck his finger a little in my butt hole and I kept tightening up. it kinda felt weird but good I only let him use the finger tip. Any way I am going see if my husband wants to hit this. he either has another woman/homo or just tired of me.

rhyme scheme

in the works, maybe done:

Adam Farcus - Schema (a-b-c-b-a-e-a-e-c-b) (cloths pins, acrylic, brass) 2011, 12" x 3½" x ½"

actually, on later thought, this piece needs to be bigger - the brass rod needs to be around 6 feet long, and the cloths pins should follow a specific poetic rhyme scheme.

'red' and stuff on the floor

i went to the first meet of a new poetry reading group at Adds Donna today - it was really nice. i think i have a new friend crush, and she gave us this quote, "a big part of poetry is being aware that you are reading."

thinking through some materials on my studio floor (while channeling Jason Dodge)

in our group we read Autobiography of Red, by Anne Carson. it's pretty amazing - i need to read it again. here is a nice part from it:

Then he met Herakles and the kingdoms of his life all shifted down a few notches.
They were two superior eels
at the bottom of the tank and they recognized each other like italics.
-
The world poured back and forth between their eyes once or twice.

pg. 39

next month we read Maggie Nelxon's Bluets. [from red to blue - rods and cones]
