BURN IT

I wish I knew who made this

FOR THE NEW YEAR

I am going to try to remind myself of this as much as possible. You should do too.

FALL 2011

At first, 

when I was in the USA for just a few months

the thought of seasons bothered me.

It didn't feel right that at any given time, 

I couldn't wear a swimsuit and run to the beach.

Yes, that was at first. 

And now seven years have past 

changing everything as usual.

I love to make different plans for each season. 

I look forward to Thanksgiving.

I like how the sound of those who walk 

on the leaves laying on the sidewalk resonates by my window.

I have become a fan of butternut squash, 

gravy, pumpkin flan and I prefer anemones versus peonies.

Dont get me wrong. 

The beach will always be my first choice.

But there is something transitional to the seasons 

which allows you a new life.

A chance of creating experiences and craving hot toddies.

Something I didn't have before and 

now it can also be mine.

The jubilation of the fall.

LAST WEEKEND

  I made Tomato Jelly and we caught clams with our feet.  According to my standards, it was a pretty good weekend.

CAMOUFLAGE

While many humans repress their innate animal needs under the guise of social advancement, the figures in Elina Tuhkanen’s exhibition Pilose Crux: Performative Sculptures from Finland actively resurrect their primitive selves through intimate, almost sacred, acts of camouflage. Communing, prayer-like, behind heavy screens of fur, their hidden gesturing suggests a longing for symbiosis in a culture defined by its increasing disconnect from the natural world.
