      I dont understand because i can't open my mind enough to see what else is the beauty experince. The operating system? Where you can't tell if its the artwork or yourself. If you try to reduce it to the artwork or yourself it ruins it. Its that feel of unknown. Unspecific

    1. it would still have to go unaddressed, as a truly "freesociety" would opt for a suicidal course rather than acquiesce to the"freedom-killing" modifications in fossil fuel extraction or consumptionchat addressing the problem requires

      Apperantly the general society would still rather ignore it then pay any attention to it.

    2. As a problem gees harder to solve, ignoring it becomes all the moretempt ing.

      I mean yeah, its a think we human minds have learned to keep our minds safe from distress but in this we should not ignore it for it affects all of us.

    3. thus failing co obviatesufferi ng and loss chat could have been avoided had we acted sooner.

      Yeah, we could have acted sooner and not had to pay the costs we are doing. Less sacrifice, distruption, and unfreedom stull. Nations have now been made and built their laws and how they work. Back then we could have implemented these procuations to keep the earth healthy but nope. We didn;t

    1. My projects seem to be on a four to five year cycle. I made the last piece from Woven in the spring of 2020, which I think we all remember as a pretty intense time, and my work shifted dramatically into a new place. If the passage from Fruitless to Fallen to Woven pushes toward the implausible, the work I'm doing now embraces the full blown fantastical.

      Its now fantasical

    2. When you first turn the page, you see a spread which is entirely white. The viewer has to interact with it to unfold the plate and discover the overabundance and visual excess of the Woven tableaux.

      Interaction with her work. Opening up to a new world, all of this woven togehther

    3. As you close volume I (Fruitless) and volume II (Fallen) you move into the world of fiction, allegory, color, and the artifice of staged tableaux.

      An artificial world. The still life has now taken a form of its own that represents somethingse

    5. I also draw upon a wide range of visual,  literary and botanical sources. Experiences of reading and looking have transformed, inspired and pushed the work, and give me a sense of context and conversation:

      Using what she has seen in other words and words to fuel her own

    6. The goal is to have the pieces work as all-over, almost abstract compositions from a distance, and draw the viewer in closer to find something more like still life.

      Our relationship to the natural world. When we don't know where to look we see what we given to us. The garden and through that we see meaning in life.

    7. This juxtaposition of autumnal fruits and spring shoots wouldn't occur in nature: by staging the scene, I'm dramatizing the relationship between life and death. In the postlapsarian world, the very fragility of life creates a heightened sense of beauty.

      Our history and learning these stories have thought us how to think like this. Seeing what around us, the life and nature to see meaning and understanding of our own lives and the world

    8. The fall from Eden is really at the heart of the triptych, which takes the imaginative leap of visualizing the Garden of Eden growing wild after its inhabitants have been exiled

      oh oh fuck man. Thats great to think about. So with teh fruitless black and white view of the world, the landscape and juxtaposing. To even more of that but through a more colorful and understanding way, fallen. If one foesnt fall from eden then how will its garden ever grow so beautifully

    9. How do Biblical narratives, particularly the story of Eden, influence your depiction of cycles of growth, decay, and the tension between order and chaos in your work?

      I want to show people a clear narative yet sometimes my abstrations in my head makes my art sometimes hard to read to otgers. There is also the idea about chosin the forbidden fruit and not going back to where you once livied. I will not go back to how i did think, this art is my forbidden fruit

    10. no one is there to tend the garden. Fecundity intermingled with rot and mortality – that's what Fallen is all about.

      Oh okay, so there isn't per say a thoughtout story that connects the projects but they are connected via her learning. So in the "fallen" its about the birth of life along with rot and mortality. In which makes us think about our own/ When we will be mied with the ground too. Six feet under or maybe a 1000 in the next few years after our death

      Making a story via mortifications

    12. I could simply collect the fallen fruit and arrange it to photograph in my own backyard.

      This is what still life. and now we have switched over to color. Fruitless lancscapes to the fallen colorful

    13. I saw this memento mori made up of the decaying apples that had fallen. At that moment, I moved from landscape to still life, and from black and white to color. The horizon line drops away.

      Fruitless.... landscape. A sense of beauty but not too specific

    14. The trees I was photographing were on land that was for sale and in danger for development, so one story the project tells is about the loss of agricultural spaces in the Hudson Valley. On another level though, there are hints of allegory in the apple trees, which recall the Biblical Tree of Good and Evil: a mode which is developed much more in Fallen and Woven.

      The story behind the area in which the tree stands on

    15. Fruitless No. 1, depicts a tree in winter that's still holding its fruit

      The first steps of this journey. Strting with Fruitless. A tree still hanging onto the fruit it produced

    16. artistic process and thematic exploration?

      As for right now i am on the verge of breaking this barrier that slices my life between reality and the dreaming. I need to build something to bridge this gap

      Photography to her is a outward looking medium (outward means: of, on, or from the outside.)

    18. Fruitless," "Fallen," and "Woven"?

      I need to start doing photography again. Start by doing POV shots i think will help out. Though yeah this is true. My photos used to and sorta are somewaht fruitless... well a majority of them. A part of my photography did help me get here

    19. Over the years, her work has evolved from the stark, clinical images of “Fruitless” to the rich, fantastical compositions of “Fallen” and “Woven.”

      From just looking good to actually weaving a story together

    20. personal experiences that shaped her projects

      How her vision has shaped her photography throughout the years. Humanity's relationship with nature

    21. triptych

      a picture or relief carving on three panels, typically hinged together side by side and used as an altarpiece.

      A triple photo thing, like when you flip open a broshore

    22. feels more like a poetic journey

      A photo series that follows a narrative. A poetic journey through time and nature. Think about that photo series of the city between 50 years ago to today. How the urban nature has changed places, even if they may look insignificant

      The mind's intuition is the ability to grasp the true nature of something beyond what our senses or imagination can show. Through careful attention and reason, recognizing that something that changes is the same substance.

      The true wax is what remains after all the quality changes. Its something that is extended, flexible, and moveable. There are other things like wax. Something that takes many shapes, much more than could be imagined. While one can't fully understand the wax through imagination it still is due to the mind alone to perceive wav

      Descartes is doubting his senses now. Going over what he is if not human. Maybe a rational animal. But then again, what is an animal and rational? What is the body? The body is senses in which can deceived us. So we must not accept the body's certainty

    6. 4

      Be sure not to mistake thyself for something else. Even if you aren't sure what you are. Just throw aside what you thought you were, anything that carries doubt and just rely on what is certain. That i exist.

    7. 3

      Though how does one know that there isn't something else? When is something completely certain? Could God be the one implementing up these thoughts? O has denied the senses and body but that doesn't mean that i don't exist. Even if there is a great being deceiving me constantly they cannot make me non-existent. I think therefore i exist (or the more common quote, "i think therefore I am

      12.... what the fuck? Where did a demon come from? I guess its only natural for this philosopher to think due to their belief in god interfering with this text... somewhat The is a devil tricking us into beliving a false reality. Everything could be illusions. So reject them no matter how convincing they may seem. The process is madly difficult but one must persist... for what exactly? I know the true reality? So that it doesn't feel like there glass in front of you? Not sure

    2. 11

      11. Hard to break from old beliefs due to the masterful soldering done throughout ones life. One must deliberately assume their previous opinions are false. Balance old assumptions with new doubts, to approach the truth in a way that is not influenced by personal feelings or opinions (open your thrid eyes and cleanse the old)

      6. Say the everything around is an illusion, that your dreaming, you can still figure out the truth by pinpointing the origin of things. There are things that are universal truths in which are the basis in which these illusions are formed. Look at a film, it maybe be in a fantasy world and if you were dreaming you can figure out the truth if you look through a magnifying glass.

      With the help of GPT. !. There are beliefs in which we accpted as true in our youth in which turned out to be false. To stray away from those false truths one must start fresh.

    1. The artist strives not to collect the most toys, rack up virtual kills or race to the jackpot square but simply to be in the game, map its corners, make time stretch — and maybe figure out a way to hack this world, change the rules and free us all. For victory is just a blip. The best games never end.

      Finding out everything about the world... no thats not right. The artist makes art in order to understand their own exsisatnce, not to rack up points. Maybe i should follow this way. This clever analogy from C. Thu Nguyen.

    2. An achievement player plays to win; a striving player temporarily acquires an interest in winning for the sake of the struggle

      The Achivment player, person who only wants to compltele

    3. It’s not the artist’s life that’s excessive but art, in its abundance or austerity, its insistence on the urgency of a particular configuration or absence of colors, shapes, textures, gestures, sounds or words that might be brimming or bereft of meaning, that might address the most pressing issues of the day or exist only to announce, “This is beautiful,” or, “I am here.”

      The art is excessive? How i will take it is that with everything that the artist has exeprinced it all lies down into the art they make. In which explodes in to a firery rage fo emotions. Its the art that is indeed excessive

    4. to communicate information”

      Well i mean.... i guess but they still bear fruit due to how abstract it can be in which causes connection in art

    5. comes to resemble mere survival. It lacks splendor, sovereignty, intensity

      Is that where living is now? Just survival instead of owning our lives? Do we have free will or must we follow these concepts and follow in line, wiring our brain to do so

    6. STILL, THIS IS a radical idea of work

      That is ... true? Yes, that we bear fruit such as meaningful art to inspire and awe others. That is why artists work. Though for regular jobs its just to earn money and live a normal life i guess

    7. pin-drop hush on opening night

      Time and place is where. Its like extastinal sorta when you think of it honestly. How is it that what we do is work, and that work follows us everywehre. We don't need a time or place, its just done and that is how art is made and what it means. That is why the notion that some great thoughts come out of nowhere is wrong. Since we are always working one way or another, work follows us and thats how we make. No matter the place or time at times. What is an artist though?

    8. : “I don’t wake up and go to a place where I sit down and make things.”

      It is the thought, our minds i show i think of it, work is done whereever whenever. It follows everywhere

    9. In some ways artists must function as athletes, building in moments of recovery, ice baths for the mind.

      I hate athletes but yeah thats true. We are better then them though honestly

    10. not the grand unfurling of the universe but life at its smallest.

      What it means to be an artists and making art. Looking at the small things in life. Lovingly loving things

    11. Why shouldn’t the artist also be a honer of craft, a sorter of nuts and bolts, as attuned to the quotidian as to the imagined greater beyond?

      Why shouldn't they go back to just being masters, just with that label placed on them?

    12. The West loves dichotomies

      a division or contrast between two things that are or are represented as being opposed or entirely different. An artist who is a geunis and holds creative living in such a inferior manner then what is deserved

    13. an individual with a singular perspective — a genius with privileged access to the sublime, pledged to bring the world higher truths.

      To westerners we have and agree to this definition of the artist

    14. European economy, which made art an appealing alternative investment. But for art to confer status, the people who made it had to be distinguished from common laborers.

      Are you serious man? One of the reasons why artist are held such highly is due to a label of investment? To distance them from what would be considered regular work. So that their investment would grow and be much more known in the banks/the people investing

    15. capriciousness

      a picture, description, or imitation of a person in which certain striking characteristics are exaggerated in order to create a comic or grotesque effect.

    16. They earned respect as masters of codified craft, not as innovators with unique insight and vision.

      They were masters, not innvetors. What are artists now? Still masters, or innevtors. Or are only some the true innevtors while the rest are just masters of their craft

    17. Painting, sculpture, architecture, theater, the making of clothes, cooking: These were considered physical, not cerebral, pursuits, alongside medicine and agriculture

      These types of things were not held as highly before. Look at the anciet Romans. It was said that they thought of art as just everyday work.

    18. it comes from the Latin ars by way of translation from the Greek techne, which means, simply, skill: “the skill required to make an object, a house, a statue, a ship, a bedstead, a pot, an article of clothing and moreover also the skill required to command an army, to measure a field, to sway an audience,” the Polish philosopher and art historian Wladyslaw Tatarkiewicz writes in “A History of Six Ideas” (1980).

      Art's translate down to Skill; the skill to craft things by hand or design, doing what needs to be done

    19. there is simply a life that allows for art — that makes space for it, however long it takes.

      Maybe, and how would art look like in a world like that. I'm not sure there is even an artist who started out without some difficulty or discrimination. Even Taylor Swift, she had to deal with sexism and people beleive she should just stay with country much at the beginning of her carerr. As much as dislike her, she is an artist techinally if we see it with the notion that an artist had accepted struggle... though look at her now. Maybe there is not artist's life due to them becoming famous. What would art look like and what would it mean to do art in a simple life with all the time? RIght now art means the struggle, emotions, introspection, and hard work.

    20. Maybe there is no such thing as the artist’s life, at least not as some insurgent or louche ideal;

      I mean, they are living somewhat like others if you look at the similarities. We work to do what we want, stare into our soul to question ourselves and our work, make things and decsions that come out of nowhere or just click

    21. from the inside, terror

      Very much indeed. I need to start editing that video starting thursday morning about what i want for this year. This year i want to read at least 7 books. Make 3 new friends, You know i will talk about this later

    22. the mind trying to remember itself and what it is capable of.

      .... I have never explicitly thought of it like this. Though it make sense. Staring into the wall wondering what happened to I

    23. hours of staring into blankness

      Okay to sum up where we have been. We have talked about how artist can make stuff out of nowhere, doing that while struggling to live and get food. There is also are is made through consitant pratice and consuming of knowledge and thoughts. The feelings of being breat due to this study. Now we are in the section of staring into the nothingness

    24. plodding through scales at the piano?

      Oh okay, i keep thinking to myself that artist refers to a painter, but no, it refers to all artists. Either a instrumentalist, painter, filmmaker, author/writer, chef, and etc

    25. perhaps to postpone the anguish of writing one

      Relating back to the one hit wonder case about artist hitting one piece and having a chance to never make another art.

    26. draft budgets, marshal resources and sometimes manage teams to realize their visions (the administrator’s life!).

      So they are still considered people with the Artist's life. Due to having needing to craft budgets, marshal resources (people who administer resources), and people who help the artist's vision come through.

    27. and where she kept working for more than a decade after she’d gained renown as a novelist in her own right.

      Is this what it feels to craft art? To be within the dirtiness of the regular life and use it to fuel the artist's life. Making their craft to to fruition

    28. The American composer Philip Glass famously shocked the Australian-born art critic Robert Hughes in the 1970s by showing up to install his dishwasher — now here is the plumber’s life

      The Plumber's life but but they are still to be considered The Artist's life.

    29. we reserve the greatest awe for artists who work as mortals do

      Artists who accept the ordinary end up cultivating a new life, the artist's life. One who pursues within the consistence of the drudgery. One who don't struggle can't reach the artist's life. Now, can we say that about other positions? Like for a entrepreneur? If one makes it and struggles, art they living the artist life? But once they reach a point in where they don't do they leave that life? Is The Artist's Life a stage in an Artist or someone? I think this applies to anyone in pursuit for wonderful craftsmanship

    30. artist has to eat

      Looking back at what the title about what i means to create are and how art is fueled by life, this is a good example of the fueled by life. Of course artist have to eat and have somewhere to live, supplies even. So within their entangled mines, they also get these essentials wrapped in there. Does making art require struggles and despair, hunger even? Is that part of the process, are these things that are felt when making art? Perhaps, and in turn is that what makes art, art?

    31. those who have it too easy, who don’t suffer for their art

      Who don't suffer from their art? The who are ordinary? i suspect thats what that means i think

    32. such toil entails a unique suffering for the artist (and a loss for the world) because it steals time from worthier pursuits.

      Even if its the same struggles as someone with a regular life. It is different to an artist nevertheless. The romantic attraction towards art persists, expression

    33. matter of a moment’s revelation

      Art isn't steady but rather something appears out of nowhere in which we praise. In which could be the dawn of wonderful art to be made more or a once in a lifetime moment. It's an Artist nightmare. Either way, we still praise their art. The artist's life

    34. please anyone but themselves

      We place this spotlight to invest into their rein as something extremely important. Someone who is a rebel and goes against ideals, someone who is uniquely special

    35. set aside our romantic notions, we see that creativity is continuous, and fueled by life itself

      Art takes inspiration and is fueled the existence of life itself.

    1. To a demisexual, liking someone just because they're attractive andnothing else is an alien concept.

      Am I like this though? I find eyes, faces, hair, and outfits extremely attractive. Like those girls on Instagram, i find them attractive based off of their eyes and face, their eyebrows, and their fit. Of course though I'm not sexually attracted to them. I don't desire to take things to that level. I care about connection. I have a strong interest in aesthetics, not sex.
