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:
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.
