All contents of consciousness are ineffable. Even the simplest sensation is, in its totality, indescribable. Every work of art, therefore, needs to be understood not only as something rendered, but also as a certain handling of the ineffable. In the greatest art, one is always aware of things that cannot be said, of the contradiction between expression and the presence of the inexpressible. Stylistic devices are also techniques of avoidance. The most potent elements in a work of art are, often, its silences.

has it really been a whole five weeks since ive delved into the wonderful world of metal thingies? here are some of the objects…that will actually photograph with a shitty webcam. once they are filed down, wired together, etc, i will beg someone with a DSLR to take a worthy shot.
i just cant wait until they are complete to show them off! its reminiscent of the time that i learned to finally draw a heart in kindergarten, and flaunted those babies everywhere before i actually got good at em.
the center piece is colored with plain old fire. i cannot emphasize how enjoyable it is to spend hours playing with a blowtorch.
when i am less tired i will be posting the “anxiety dragon” that i have completed today.
so much art making. alas, my wacky art wednesdays end today as i now must prepare for real life work and stop neglecting commissions :x
What are Good Bands/Acts for Workout Playlists?
today i chose crystal castles and various eastern european spazzy brass bands if that is at all a taste indicator…
The minute I heard my first love story,
I started looking for you, not knowing
how blind that was.
Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere,
they’re in each other all along.

the best.
this is an appropriate friday night song.
forever loving all things del. except the gorillaz.
maybe its like the smiths where i made a snap judgement before i gave it a good enough listen. there is hope yet?
spirits at night wont you help me find the light
