Thesis Studio: So Why is This Important?
It's important
to establish
a voice
to let out
what gets locked in...
It's important
not to
maintain
a complacent
lens
for which to view
your existence...
...to wiggle your
way in-between
the sharp spots
that get in the way...
...to allow those
thoughts and moments
of strangeness
to be free...
...to look past
what's in front of you...
(that's where the good stuff is)
...to switch it up,
make it go against the societal norm,
(that's where the magic happens...watch...)
and when THAT becomes the new norm...
let it all out all over again.

Thesis Studio: Rust & Wax Obsession (I have this)
I get sidetracked by taking photos of the
damn
rusted
wire.
It's become a problem habit.
Even the dust it leaves behind I find mesmerizing.
My view on the way in to the studio.
Spying on my lovely studio-mate Alex.
(who's sister went to the same high school as me...
in a different state...W H A A A A T?!?!?!)
Coils. I'll have to write about this in my thesis paper.
(currently I have "three" thesis papers in one, I must
streamline it, organize it & be brilliant in the process...hmmmm)
Encaustic wax, tissue paper & netting rubbed with ink.
The texture... good.
The translucency... good.
I DO like the beeswax scent.
It's in its tweaking process.
I lay on the floor a lot looking at it, pointing with my toes.
Sometimes I mumble.
It will be a magnificent installation.
One I will discuss with intellect and confidence.
This is what I keep telling myself.
It works.
So far.
(studio yoga has been replaced with sessions
at the gym that leave me wilted from things like...
slamming a medicine ball into the ground,
squat jumping,
planks (f-ing planks),
rowing,
curling,
lunging,
balancing pushups,
kettle ball things,
more squatting,
and so on and so on)

Me.
Sitting at home
Messing with "photo booth"
When I should be working on my thesis
Another problem distraction

this guy...
(a whole lotta sexy of an already extremely sexy song...
who knew this was possible?)
(he's phenomenal in Dallas Buyers Club BTW)
