A good day...

The Octopus
(From Good Intentions by Ogden Nash)

Tell me, O Octopus, I begs,
Is those things arms, or is they legs?
I marvel at thee, Octopus;
If I were thou, I'd call me Us.

The Octopussy
(From Mixed Beasts by Kenyon Cox)

I love Octopussy, his arms are so long;
There's nothing in nature so sweet as his song.
'Tis true I'd not touch him - no, not for a farm!
If I keep at a distance he'll do me no harm.

Some hammock action

This is spectacular and I want one soooooo bad!
Libby-I will give you my first born.

Happy Earth Day!

The Clock That Spells It Out

This is a really amazing clock. After you read the thing below, go here to see a sped-up animation of the clock showing all twelve hours. The image below shows "FOUR"-oclock.



"The starting point with this project was a personal study about form & time. I put together more than 150 individual clockworks and made them work together to become one clock. I show the progress of time by letting the numbers be written in words by the clockworks. Reading clockwise, the time being is visible through a word and readable by the completeness of the word, 12 words from 'one' to 'twelve'."

I want one. Can we make these for Nesbit? (Some guy makes them for $20...yes please!)

Thanks for the Sun

This is what I came home to

Made in China

This is interesting.

this is why we have Jon Anderson...

“Uretsky is interested in working with and responding to her materials. By working in conjunction with materials found typically in the home or in industry, Uretsky transforms the common, mundane materials of cultural use into uncommon forms and metaphors. She uses repetition and ritual to create abstract systematic sculptures that bear witness to the systems with which we organize our lives. Rather than illustrating particular memories, instead Uretsky’s work operates in a place similar to memory: her forms seem laden with histories, her materials seem to be markers of the ways that people have related to one another. The abstract forms she creates have the uncanny ability to be simultaneously familar and unrecognizable.”

my email back to him was just shy of: '...I...lov..should I give you money or something'?

Anyone have anything to add?

Fix this!

I need a concluding statement. Well and more is suppose. PLEASE HELP ME!

For a Monday Morning...

"Think in ways you have never thought before.
If a phone rings think of it as carrying a message
larger than anything you have ever heard,
vaster than a hundred lines of Yeats.

Think that someone may bring a bear to your door,
maybe wounded or deranged
and think that a moose has risen out of the lake
and he is carrying on his antlers a child of your own,
whom you have never seen.

When someone knocks on the door
think that he is about to give you something large,
tell you you are forgiven
or that it is not necessary to work all the time
or that it has been decided that if you lie down,
no one will die."

-Robert Bly
