Stumbled upon this Etsy interview with Sophie Blackall while taking a break from studying today. I have come to a conclusion that people who love what they do, talk about it in the most wonderfully serene way. It's a joy to listen to her and I only hope one day I will talk about my job the same way.
“i like drawing animals, but i’m ashamed to say i almost always want to put clothes on them”
Brooklyn-based illustrator Sophie Blackall was in search of inspiration when she stumbled upon the infamous Missed Connections section of Craigslist. In this Internet realm of love lost and found, anonymous posters chronicle the one who got away, hoping that the object of their affection will remember the shy stranger who offered an umbrella during a freak hail storm. Sophie immediately knew she had found her muse. That fateful revelation led to a collection of tender works, culminating in her recently published book, Missed Connections: Love, Lost & Found.

In this project, Time, John Clang photographs pedestrian traffic along the city streets of New York at various times. He then tears multiple photographs into strips, akin to the pieces of a broken mirror, and then puts them together into a single frame. By combining split seconds into one moment he confronts issues of intimacy among crowds of strangers.

Prada Marfa is a permanently installed sculpture by artists Elmgreen and Dragset, situated about 60 km northwest of the city of Marfa. Resembling a Prada store, the installation's door is nonfunctional. On the front of the structure there are two large windows displaying actual Prada wares, shoes and handbags, picked out and provided by Miuccia Prada herself from the fall/winter 2005 collection.Labels: Art, Fashion

Sorry I haven't been posting much lately. Have been busy with dance and preparing for Common Tests next week, which I am very worried for. I really hate disappointing my teachers, especially when they are all so nice and encouraging and I especially hate disappointing myself. So much for big dreams.Labels: Art, Musings, School
