ladders & boxes

We still have a long way to go before I feel settled in the new house.
I'm really wishing I had some of those snazzy Bewitched powers right about now.
The best part about moving is redecorating and art buying.
One of the first things I plan on doing for the new house is commissioning a neon prop ladder inspired by Ben Jones, but first my sexy step ladder and cardboard boxes need to vacate.

discipline

After a whirlwind week filled with camping, then flying 2k miles to Arizona, enduring corporate consumption & mental exhaustion at a 5 day business trip and hanging out with great friends, the last thing I want to do is prep for the real world tomorrow.
I'd like to call in sick and tell Life it can pass me bye on Monday. I've done a bit too much in the past couple days and I'd like time to pause for a moment.

superstitions

I love Brea Souder's series based on superstitions: Time Between
artist statement:
I’m interested in the way superstitions reflect the human urge for story telling and our need for control in an uncertain world. They act as portals to a childhood sensibility, and can transform an ordinary scene into a mysterious tableau, rich with new meaning.

Monday links

It's been a long while since I had the time to get lost on the internets and curate some links.
Sit back and enjoy my idle time.

The Building of Artifacts

This weekend flew by.
I couldn't catch up.

ringl+pit

Ellen Auerbach and Grete Stern met in 1929 while they were studying photography with Walter Peterhans, the first photography professor at the Bauhaus school in Germany. Together, they sought to challenge the expectations of their class, culture, and gender, establishing an advertising photography studio during the fragile political climate of the Weimar Republic. The name of the studio was derived from their respective childhood nicknames, ringl (Grete) and pit (Ellen).Pioneers in their field, Auerbach and Stern embraced the spirit of social liberation, economic upheaval, and mass media, becoming recognized for the subtle subversion of conventional depictions of women in advertising. International prizes followed quickly on the heels of their financial success. However, their collaboration was cut short when the Nazis rose to power, forcing the two friends to flee Germany — Grete to England and Ellen to Palestine.The circumstances of the war separated them for ten years. Ellen Auerbach traveled extensively, settling in New York City and continuing her artistic career. Grete Stern made Buenos Aires her new home and became one of the most influential figures in photography in Argentina. Auerbach and Stern remained lifelong friends.

Céline Clanet: Máze & miami traffic

Clusterfuck:
Large quantity of confused people in a disorganized manner.

Sorry I'm late, it was a real clusterfuck on main street.

Which would you rather face?
I'm getting off the island and facing Miami's fierce weekend traffic. Fack.

day off.

bliss.

balance?

I can't seem to find the balance between work and leisure time lately. I'm doing both kinda of half assed. A lack of studying doesn't pair so well with a full reader, messy bedroom and unmanicured body hair.

What's my greatest skill?
Finding really cool and really distracting websites when I'm supposed to be studying. The uninteresting, banal and pedestrian seeks me out when I have all the time in the world. Only when I tell myself, "15 minutes of browse time" do I discover the internet honey hole.
Bah.
I'm signing off.
