Yayoi Kusama

food for thought

went to the Blaffer Art Museum on campus today during a break between classes and read this by Tony Feher – the artist of the exhibit.
“People are looking all the time, but I don’t think they’re seeing anything. And I think that’s not true just with a piece of art that’s in front of them, but in a larger cultural sense. Our lives are shrouded in myths and superstition and prejudice. If you can accept a soda bottle with condensation on the inside as a work of art, then maybe that’s a way of seeing a broader picture, or of seeing the world from a different point of view.”

yesterday, i had a lovely bike ride around the heights houston with a friend who is updating the A.D.D. website. << soooo looking forward to this makeover. if you ever need a web designer, gibson hall is your go-to. he is great to work with and timely. he shared this great article about how important it is to have a mind detox, especially going into the new year (see here). steps to a clear mind: dedicate 30 minutes, 3 times a week to some type of exercise and write. this is a great start to getting out of this funk i am in. the past 2 weeks have been brutal (i will spare you the details) and i am ready to leave them in the past and move forward – with a fresh start.

i feel renewed and am going to make bike rides a daily thing. i really want to get out and enjoy this cool, not to mention rare, weather we are experiencing. another thing i enjoy doing is antique shopping. on the ride yesterday, we stopped in this tiny second hand shop…. duh duh duh. danger! i found a functional type writer for $20! you better believe i went back and got it. i am so excited! cant wait to put this baby to work. my new toy. sorry to be a little bouncy in this post. thats all for now.
