Video Treat: What if money was no object?

caravan

i've decided that i would like a caravan. i was at my dentist the other day and as per usual, he was talking about life anf the importance of it and happiness lalalala. he usually does. but then he started talking about how he and his family have a caravan and they go off to some place that i can't remember and just be.

anyways, there are so many kick-ass looking caravans that i just want. i'd love to move from town to town and just camp out in my little caravan with a friend or two. not by myself, i'd be too scared of the dark and, well, getting taken.

look at these cool interiors and exteriors:

this one!

blah blah all images from wherever. ask google

Artist Treat: Kate MacDowell

i am so in love with MacDowell's work. jeepers creepers it's stunning. it's like the pieces that would make you slightly cringe or shy away  because of how graphic is it, isn't as severe because of her use of porcelain. YUM.

her statement:. 
(retrieved from her official website) 

We do not want merely to see beauty, though, God knows, even that is bounty enough.  We want something else which can hardly be put into words--to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it. – C.S. Lewis.

"In my work this romantic ideal of union with the natural world conflicts with our contemporary impact on the environment.  These pieces are in part responses to environmental stressors including climate change, toxic pollution, and gm crops.  They also borrow from myth, art history, figures of speech and other cultural touchstones.  In some pieces aspects of the human figure stand-in for ourselves and act out sometimes harrowing, sometimes humorous transformations which illustrate our current relationship with the natural world.  In others, animals take on anthropomorphic qualities when they are given safety equipment to attempt to protect them from man-made environmental threats.  In each case the union between man and nature is shown to be one of friction and discomfort with the disturbing implication that we too are vulnerable to being victimized by our destructive practices.

I hand sculpt each piece out of porcelain, often building a solid form and then hollowing it out.  Smaller forms are built petal by petal, branch by branch and allow me the chance to get immersed in close study of the structure of a blossom or a bee.  I chose porcelain for its luminous and ghostly qualities as well as its strength and ability to show fine texture.  It highlights both the impermanence and fragility of natural forms in a dying ecosystem, while paradoxically, being a material that can last for thousands of years and is historically associated with high status and value.  I see each piece as a captured and preserved specimen, a painstaking record of endangered natural forms and a commentary on our own culpability."

Video Treat: Tomorrow by Daughter

so this video isn't entirely visually captivating BUT it is performed so well. i am so infatuated with Daughter. Elena Tonra has such a hauntingly beautiful voice. she sings in such a delicate way but each note that escapes her feels so powered by the purest of emotions.

complete adoration.
p.s: do not rob yourself of watching this in anything other than HD.

Video Treat: Truth by Alexander

(second watch of the month)

this is Alexander Ebert. he is beautiful and i warn you that you may fall in love.

now watch, maybe listen more.

                                         

The truth is that I never shook my shadow

Every day it's trying to trick me into doing battle

Calling out "faker" only get me rattled

Want to pull me back behind the fence with the [cattle]

Building your [lenses]

Digging your trenches

Put me on the front line

Leave me with a dumb mind

With no defenses

But your defenses

If you can't stand to feel the pain then you are senseless

[Since] this

I've grown up some

Different kind of fighter

And when the darkness come let it inside you

Your darkness is shining

My darkness is shining

Have faith in myself

Truth

I've seen a million numbered doors on the horizon

Now which is the future you choosen before you gone dying.

I'll tell you 'bout a secret I've been underminding

Every little lie in this world come from dividing

Say you're my lover, say you're my homie,

Tilt my chin back slit my throat take a bath in my blood get to know me

All out of my secrets

All my enemies are turning into my teachers.

Because, lights blinding, no way dividing what's yours or mine when everything's shining

You darkness is shining my darkness is shining

Have faith in ourselves 

Truth

Yes I'm only loving, only trying to only love

That's what I'm trying to do is only loving

Yes I'm only lonely loving feeling only loving

Till I'm feeling only loving

Ya say it ain't loving ain't loving my loving

But I'm only loving only loving only loving

Only loving the truth.
