divers

Octopus, Octopus

Last night I watched a Jaques Cousteau film called Octopus, Octopus. Such a weird thing, cause it's not scientific in the least-- most of it is just cousteau spouting off a bunch of his own semi-poetic bullshit to footage of divers bothering otherwise complacent octopi. Some important things I learned-- octopi don't have nests, or dens, but they have "homes". I don't necessarily trust that, but I like it. In fact, I couldn't help but like the whole film, because Cousteau seemed genuinely exhuberant and excited about how BIZAARE the octopi were, despite the fact that he generally didn't seem to know what he was talking about. But then, neither do I! I took photos, some of which are , I think, very beautiful.

Today I decided that I'm going to go to MCAD next fall. This is a pretty big deal for me! Life changes, hoooray!

Also, I have a couple new drawings. Maybe I'll post some pictures in the next week or so.

So, I know I haven't written much of anything lately, or ever really. I'm sorry. I'm taking courses on museum studies, drawing, and philosophy. I've finished applying to graduate schools (Only two for this fall, probably more next year), and I've been collecting vintage photographs as always. I have done next to no painting, and very little drawing. I am taking kind of an unexpected break.

In two weeks, Ali and I are going to New York and DC for spring break. I'm incredibly excited. That is all, I think, for now.

My show has finally opened, and it seems to have been something of a success. Here are some photos!
