mother, remember the blink of an eye when I breathed through your body?

Seriously, Gian Lorenzo Bernini must be one of my all time favourite sculptors. Eehhh..Ectasy of Saint Teresa has me on pins and needles every time I look at it. It's so overwelming gorgeous and emotional. Above is an excerpt from one of his sculptures. And this is made of marble. As in cold, solid rock marble. And somehow he managed to capture the sensuality and aestical feel/look of skin. mmm. in many ways, I think he was overlooked by Michelangelo, and I don't know if that's the correct order of things..

Oh. and definitely watch this..>< (Sorry it's so small..)

now i'm a fat house cat.

i've been feeling very inspired by everything lately. I'm almost out of school (just a little over a month and half left..) and have really enjoyed these last two semesters. art is so good. In addition art I've been making in class,  I've been working on a linoleum blockprint (which is pretty rad, cuz I haven't done one of those deals since high school) for the annual juried student show. It's turning out pretty good, I'll have to get a decent pic to post here at some point..


Also, I've been volunteering in the gallery at UNI now three days a week and I love it. Emphasis on the italicized love. It just feels right. What doesn't feel right is I'm almost through with my winter sketchbook. I'll have to post pictures of some favie pages..><

I've been getting up pretty early every day, weekends included for no specific reason. I like listening to music like Iron & Wine and painting. And writing. Oh, writing. Just recently I started back into my poetry. I think blogging was a synthetic attempt at filling in that blank spot for who knows how long. And sunrises. I really like those too.
