it is what it is and was what it was.

the amount of working computers is lacking right now thus the lack in posts. the mac is still currently in shangai. maybe wuhan? not sure.
but better things...

i spent five hours at the national gallery of canada today at the 'it is what it is' exhibition. please go.
out of those five hours i sat in a dark room taking in Benny Nemerofsky Ramsay's work Live to Tell. Its a short film of about 5-6 minutes long. you can read a little blip of it on the site and a little more at the gallery. this has to be my absolute favourite piece i have seen in a long time. just lovely.

after eating cotton candy ice cream for a while it just starts to taste like vanilla.

...lend your ears to music, open your eyes to painting, and...stop thinking! Just ask yourself whether the work has enabled you to "walk about" into a hitherto unknown world. If the answer is yes, what more do you want?

now.

i was told today
working on a piece of art can teach you things about life you would never elsewhere find. when drawing, you come across something great you want to hold on to and are proud of. you start to work around this one particular thing. what's wrong with that is everything else starts to become distorted because of how focused you are on keeping this one particular thing in frame. let it go. erase it, and with time it will naturally reappear and redefine itself. we are naturally programmed to cling onto the things we like and things that make us happy so we engulf ourselves in them. the only way to live in the now and to create in the now is to let go of the memories and what was good in the past, and to recreate over and over again.

thank you andré martel.
