dna
a drawing of a piece of science jewelry, dna untwisted.
(and what if it worked, what if i put it in my body and it made dna.)
uterus: a portrait of my insides
(two big-enough eggs, one that got crowded out, and a bunch of little ones)
science class
(dna strand: she says i can have it for my studio when she’s done with it)
pretty food
- oranges are like just abstract circles and like rocks. their shadows are like oblong oranges or oblong rocks. i love their sadness and irregularity.
- i ripped that page out of gourmet magazine december 08. gorgeous cookies on a cloth backdrop. i like complicated backdrops right now and how they inform the composition. today i learned by drawing their composition. that blue cloud-like shape in the back holds the drawing together like string.
- i tried to make those cookies two weeks ago, but i’d never made icing before. while they tasted pretty good, the icing was so impossible to decorate with, all my cookie drawings looked like bad cartoons.
flying
After the plane splashed down, he turned to his first officer. “We said, ‘Well, that wasn’t as bad as I thought,’ ” he said.
The plane was evacuated and Captain Sullenberger, “after bugging people for hours,” said he finally learned that all 155 people on board had survived.
“I felt like the weight of the universe had been lifted off my heart,” he said.
- New York Times article about the Captain who landed the plane in the Hudson River
sky
the long winter is closer to over. we survived what i thought we might not. not just the weather, but all that summer brought for us that exploded in the fall and through winter we have been trying to repair. i need spring. walking outside today and not feeling the muscles in my shoulders turn inward, it was a freedom from all sorts of winter sadness.
chandelier
saturday/ i miss my studio.
i love photos of tables and counters, the circles of plates and all the colors of food segregated by circles. and in this photo, (cut out of the december 08 gourmet magazine), jewels, too:
i have often tried to photograph my chandelier from above like this but i think ours is too high. i love the crystals mixed with the ornamentation of food. and i really should get or make an intricate tablecloth as backdrop.
