Here There Be Dragons

[avad]

This be your daily avaD, no-frills...making runs to the town dump, bank and grocery...drinking too much coffee, talking to stray cats, in between painting and clickyclickyOCD:


Slow going in the studio....have many small pieces going at once...adding clay to terraform one..I like it....will be a snow island...ideas still swarming for pieces in incubation...my mind sorting through the concepts of distance and fantasy, self and other, created spaces.
'Here There Be Dragons'...Old or imagined mappings with unchartered territory..surrounding my island..will search for little asian-style minihouses or try to customize....would love to find a little asian red plastic bridge as well...
A series based on the Plan of Yuan Ming Yuan....I'm pretty excited about this...how can you not be when the list of scene-names is orgasmic. For example, one will be legitimately titled:
'The Court of Fermented Liquors in the Midst of Lotus Flowers Stirred by the Breeze'.

*sigh* so yeah,lol, let us meet there for a spell hmmmmm?;)

heyoooh raggamuffin... nice digs. coffee does a soul some good, i dunno if there's too much. convenient that our thoughtthemes are mirrored as ever. i am working on a little story for the mademoiselle (she set me an assignment date). i believe it will involve dragons/ancient reptiles of the deep. and self/otherness. and distance and fantasy. and asian folkbeliefs, hybridized. stories of intercultural confusion.

forward me some of that Lotus Essence. you know how i love lists ;o)

p.s. miss you, write sometime!
