I know some other bloggers regularly make posts of lists of things they like. I’m not exactly a creature of habit so I doubt this will be a regular thing, but it works for my busy schedule of painting, printing, writing, studying, and worrying.
Christine Borland is a sculptor who is responsible for the above image. She works with medicine, science, and anatomy (she even got a fellowship at a medical institute) so I feel a deep connection to her work. I have kind of an artist crush on her! I found her through researching Rachel Whiteread and other Young British Artists for a research paper for seminar. I’d like to get a tattoo inspired by one of her sculptures, but I’m not sure if I need to contact her first. Or rather, her artist liaison at the gallery that represents her, since that’s all the contact information I can find. Any thoughts?
I’m getting really excited about my group senior show. We ordered 1,000 postcards of the image in the last post, started a blog, and figured out a window display and lobby idea. My awesome big sister is even baking cookies to reflect our decorations. Needless to say, we’re going all out. I’d like to get a nice dress and I’m really tempted to order this piece from Mociun. I wish I could try it on, though, they don’t sell anywhere in Massachusetts!
I’ve been looking at a lot of rings lately. I dug up a trunk of my old things a few weeks ago because I was dying to bring a mood ring for my trip to LA (I found one that I’ve had since childhood) and I’ve been acquiring more every so often. Eerie Basin of Brooklyn specializes in antique jewelry and also features some contemporary work. They range from a $160 turquoise Navajo ring circa 1930s to a $4,700 Victorian diamond ring circa 1880s (as well as many between and beyond). I’m a pretty simple girl when it comes to jewelry. Anyway, Stainless Steel Style is an ebay shop specializing in gothy mens rings, but I’m sure if you measure your finger they’d fit a girl just fine.
I needed new music so I went on a hunt today. Here are some of my findings.
Surfer Blood – Take it Easy
Japandroids – Art Czars
The weather for tomorrow is a prediction of 85 degrees. (In Boston! Really!) I plan on celebrating this with a new mix cd, windows down, an iced latte (why doesn’t Starbucks offer raspberry lime rickies? I have a giftcard!), and following up class with doing homework and painting my toenails a bright coral in the sun.
