self,

i have to feel to write.

i dont feel. I do not feel

Testing. replace drifting for direction. i feel numb

This is just who i am justificaton.

to feel I must let go Unclench. I find this painful, where most find welcome reprieve.

I understand that I must

throw myself disregard hesitation

practice

learn distance, during the fall.

via 1/2 - a project/puplication of artistic exchange between four french artists/graphic designers who live in four european capitals.

Again and again, however we know the landscape of love and the little churchyard there, with its sorrowing names, and the frighteningly silent abyss into which the others fall: again and again the two of us walk out together under the ancient trees, lie down again and again among the flowers, face to face with the sky.

In Pictures - 10 Andy Warhol Facts

When it came to artistic media, Andy Warhol was not one to limit himself, hand drawing, painting, printmaking, silk screening, sculpture, film, and music production being just some of the skills he employed. But throughout his career, one medium prevailed as a central source of inspiration and means of artistic expression for the revered Pop artist: photography. It was through a lens that Warhol was able to explore his favoured themes of celebrity, seriality and mortality with the greatest élan, using the camera as the key tool in his quest to create art mechanically, much as a machine produces packaging.

"Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative..."

“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through. -Ira Glass”

free to set free // phase 4 living

There is no visual likeness between seed and plant. You could never guess what a tomato would look like by looking at a tomato seed. What we plant in the soil and what grows out of it don’t look anything alike.
