Aran Island memories {jsL}

You were gnarly that day...

(PS. thanks for not biking into the beautiful Irish horizon without me...even though I was slower than the neighborhood kids and perhaps the senior citizens as well.)

Images from the Transient Problem, Interpretation #2

“It is very important that the mind feels that there is a moment of truth or a moment of authenticity. It’s really crucial, because if the artist’s hand is seen as too strong, the pictures seem either dead or contrived. The mind doesn’t believe it. The mind has to see that photograph as commenting on some aspect of truth, whatever truth means.”
-Roger Ballen

Ugh... I actually felt guilty for watching TV while having lunch today, how sad is that? Free time is so precious that I have a hard time deciding what to do with it. I scream silently in my head sometimes... Luckily, I can relax with suite 107 and Red Sox vs. Indians tonight!

Pre-Departure Exercise {jsL}

My Favorite Dress

My "pre-departure exercise" was returned to me today and I was reacquainted with all the surreal "goals" that I had hope to gain from studying in Ireland. They felt like old childhood friends who have not moved into the present. Not surprisingly I have changed and it felt like I was reading someone else's list. I was so restless and artistically constipated that ancient Ireland and the tiny Burren College of Art was exactly what my soul needed. Cheesy perhaps, but at the time Clark held nothing new for me, I've already "done Clark" for two and a half years. Secretly I also wanted to run away from myself because I had fallen into a hole and physically leaving the country was the only solution. I wasn't the only one needing a fresh perspective on life, as I happily found out that first freezing afternoon at Orchard House...

After sitting around for more than 6 months and going through luggage security scanners twice, these mistreated negatives were finally developed and scanned this week. My Hoga is also the most mistreated piece of equipment I have. I guess the way to my heart is pain...

Home is where the heart is... {jsL}

This is the beginning of a project on childhood, family and the effects of where we live on our psyche. This is also an extension of Home is Where the Heart Is, a long term project of mine.
