I was assigned to create a “creativity journal” for fine art photography class. Usually I find these assignments kind of dull unless you decide to really invest in it. Therefore I have decided to invest time and energy in it and use it as a place to make stupid things, smear paint and write down [...]

It was great to see this after my class on conceptual art as well as my museums class that discussed alternative exhibition techniques. Gillick chose objects from the MCA collection and displayed them in the salon format in mostly alphabetical [...]

Page three and I already want to quote it.
“Purity. Serenity. Simplicity. Seclusion. All one’s concentration and flamboyance and originality reserved for the grueling, exalted, transcendent calling. I looked around and I thought, this is how I will live.”

Ok, wordpress and I kind had a messy break-up and I was giving it the silent treatment. Why? Because I got hundreds of spam comments, (also, I was unsure I had anything interesting to say). So, today I decided I did have something to say so I tidied up things around here. I downloaded a [...]

Summer 2009 in Chicago.
I moved in with my boyfriend that I have never lived in the same state as, started an internship and shockingly managed to find a job for the time that I was here. The summer: it worked; everything worked, despite stress and frustrations. I am content and in love and happy (I [...]

I have been feeling unsure lately as to what the purpose or role of my Wordpress is. I enjoy sharing things with the ‘internet world’ and like to be able to update the friends and family that read this. The problem is that I have almost created too serious of a venue for me to [...]

While my new job can be a little frustrating (especially when I am alone and making breakfast sandwiches for an entire family), it has given me the chance to meet some cool people. It is also my only chance to be a social being since I don’t really know anyone in Chicago, which may be [...]

I can’t help it!

So, I am pretty sure that promotion of my cohabitating (not a word, I know) lover is almost as bad as self-promotion. Then again, what is a blog but an avenue for shameless promotion of ourselves and those around us? Well, the merits and motivations for blogging may be another discussion for another day (though I [...]
