You know the way in American movies the hero has to get the punch in the nose first, before he gets motivated to get to the happy ending? And the way he can’t get what he wants, because he wants it for the wrong reasons? The way he gets to the point of giving up all hope, and starts acting […]
Singing?.. Hmm..
I go downstairs to the cellar to touch a human being. There, amongst the mouldings and things, is Tim. – Cuddle, – say I. We cuddle. – Don’t be upset. – he says, – It turns out to be a rather good day after all. – I am not upset any more. Not after I wrote about it. […]
Take this shit and turn it into a sweet!
Morning. Girls are on the bus to shool. In my hand there is a LARGE LETTER to take to the post office. In the letter there is my little watercolour, which I sold on ebay for £0.99 plus £3.50 postage and packing. The idea is to get some money from economising on postage and packing. I am walking […]
Gallery ideology – no ideology
These were very shaky few months for me – rushing here and there, pressing all sorts of buttons with all sorts of unexpected and half-expected consequences. What I’ve learned: 1. Have to try and think at least one and a half steps ahead, although it is so hard for my nature. 2. Don’t go against […]

We all are immense potentials, and only a few of us are actual achievements. I don’t want to be a potential any more. I am to be an achievement.
Sculptor Brigette Evill

Talking to her made me realise, amongst other things, that the lack of experience in the “real world” outside with all the human interactions is incredibly obvious […]
Arts and Maths
What would you prefer to be: a young and inexperienced idiot, or an old and experienced idiot? I am personally at the transitional stage of old and inexperienced idiot myself. Arts and Maths. Nothing’s new. But new to me. As usual. I started thinking about it, but as my mom said to me today on the phone, […]
To stop. And shout your heart out.
That’s how I felt for a second. And then it went away. There was this artist who’s name I don’t remember, who kept painting eye injuries. In the end he lost an eye in a pub brawl. Let’s say, you are an artist. And you keep painting your nightmares. Would you be afraid that they […]
Let people die!
Why people keep trying to keep people alive? There was this article on BBC today about a girl of 13 with a heart condition, who refused an operation. The operation was very risky, might not have worked, and even if it worked, she’d be destined for the life on medications afterwords. She wants to die […]
Morning!
Mary Oliver – Praying Posted: 10 Nov 2008 08:52 AM CST Praying by Mary Oliver It doesn’t have to be the blue iris, it could be weeds in a vacant lot, or a few small stones; just pay attention, then patch a few words together and don’t try to make them elaborate, this isn’t a […]
