Cleaning my Room

Ok.

I decided I should organize my papers/forms/books and now my room looks like a hurricane of ephemera. It's fun, but not for long.


Katana

It's all for Her

I was glad to hear "Pose!," to see that serene creature, with trembling life in every inch of her, snap back into model queen of the room. Everything was for her. The notice on the outside of the door, "Life Class, keep Out" was for her. Heat, light, hush-- all were for her. Unprotected flesh made us tender, protective, chivalrous. Her beauty delighted the artist in us. The illuminated glow of her flesh made sacred the busy hush as we worked.

Her live beauty swallowed every inch of my shyness. I had never been taught to think of our naked bodies as something beautiful, only as something indecent, something to be hidden. Here was nothing but loveliness...only loveliness--a glad, life-lit body, a woman proud of her profession, proud of her shapely self, regal, illuminated, vital, high-poised above our clothed insignificance.

At four o'clock the model stepped down from her throne, rubbed tired muscles a little, disappeared behind the curtain, emerged ordinary, a woman clothed shabbily, all the beauty she had lent us hidden.

From "Growing Pains" Emily Carr (132-133)

Goth Invades the Bathroom

This is a record of how I dry my clothes and how it looks like bats hanging by their feet.

Gray Abstraction Plans

These are the pictures that I plan to use for an acrylic abstraction painting. I think they are all fine compositions in and of themselves but I really like the colors and the linear aspects of the skytrain, so I think it would work very well as an abstract. I've already done one, but I oversaturated the colors and the scale is too small. I plan to try again.

Bite.

Here, I have started a new blog. I like Blogger very much; it's easy to organize, and I think that this one will also be easy to keep up. Open eyes and ears, children.

A story;

Lately, talking on the phone with my parents, with Katie, and when I went to TWU, I have been hearing that I sound happier.
Interesting, how one is happier when one is not depressed.

It's good.
