gray is such a pretty color.
and eternally underrated.
“Your instagrams aren’t art.”
Said an image going around Tumblr.
Art deprecates. Or maybe it has always been a simple concept. But there are plenty of examples of art being pointless and not actually made (Duchamp) and even not original (Sherrie Levine) . So I don’t see why instagram can’t be elevated to high art. Modern art seems to have the retort “You could have made this but you didn’t” while instagram is the bit that says “that’s pretty and you did it”
Good enough for me.

Bowers Museum
There was a free admission day on Sunday to Bowers Museum. I’d have to say the highlights were seeing part of the famous terracotta army, the scrimshaw exhibit (because scrimshaw is really fun to say) and the Polynesian art section. There I saw lovely relics such as this adult human tooth necklace and a fork used for eating human flesh.
Yum.

Unfinished.
Not that anything is ever truly finished.
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore–And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over–like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?

I feel like it’s worse, but probably because I’m having a bad day.

I love looking at some of my favorite painters and seeing how they drew. This is the study before the painting.
