An Inspirational Installation

This past Friday I wrote about a book, American Junk. I took thoughts of junking with me to the opening a friend's bar/art gallery, Underbelly.

I knew Underbelly would feature art, but I didn't expect to see this interesting Installation entitled “Strategies for Making Time Stand Still”.



The vignettes are beautiful.

The artist Matt Alison is interviewed on the Underbelly blog. We talked a little about junking & using photography as a medium to helplessly capture a moment in our far-too-rapidly moving lives.

I also met his wife Kathryn who ironically was responsible for this installation that I posed in at the St. John's Towncenter.



Both artists went to Ringling College of Art and Design. I keep running into people who attended this art school in beautiful Sarasota (Where I go to occasionaly visit a good friend who went south for college). The more I run into people who attended Art School, the more I want to quit marketing and make the journey south to enroll in art school- but I'm just too damn economical* to quit my career.

So I'll continue to look at art, admire art, & acquire art- sharpening my skills without professional training.

*Cheap ass hell.

  1. Just wanted to say that Katie and I both enjoyed talking to you at the opening, and I am looking forward to our next conversation. Until then, keep fighting the good fight.

  5. صنع فخ الأوعية الزجاجية يمكن استخدام وعاء زجاجي بسيط ليعمل كمصيدة للصراصير، وذلك عن طريق الحصول على وعاء زجاجي فارغ ونظيف، ثمّ ملئه حتى المنتصف بالماء، ودهن بعض الفازلين حول الجزء العلوي للوعاء ليمنع الصراصير من الهروب، ثمّ إضافة بعض الأغذية التي تجذبها، مثل: حبيبات القهوة، وزبدة الفول السوداني، وبقايا الطعام، ثم إجراء ذات الخطوات مع أوعية زجاجية أخرى، وتوزيعها في أماكن مختلفة من المنزل، ثمّ التخلص مما في داخلها من صراصير لاحقاً
