Like a dream

In order to create, we draw from our inner well. This inner well, an artistic reservoir, is ideally like a well stocked fish pond... If we don't give some attention to upkeep, our well is apt to become depleted, stagnant, or blocked...As artists, we must learn to be self nourishing. We must become alert enough to consciously replenish our creative resources as we draw on them — to restock the trout pond, so to speak.

Poor hare...but so is art

I wished to go completely outside and to make a symbolic start for my enterprise of regenerating the life of humankind within the body of society and to prepare a positive future in this context. - joseph beuys

on photography by sontag

As photographs give people an imaginary possession of a past that is unreal, they also help people to take possession of space in which they are insecure.

In America, the photographer is not simply the person who records the past, but the one who invents it.

It is not altogether wrong to say that there is no such thing as a bad photograph - only less interesting, less relevant, less mysterious ones.

Life is not significant details, illuminated by a flash, fixed forever. Photographs are.

So successful has been the camera's role in beautifying the world that photographs, rather than the world, have become the standard of the beautiful.

I am writing a paper on dan graham and gehard richter and am using susan sontag's: on photographer to compare and interpret their work. I was given on photographer for my birthday by my good friend and then purchased her journals, which shares insight into sontag's wonderfully complex mind, shortly after. I also just found out that she spoke at vassar for commencement five years ago. I wish i could have seen her. She and Joan Didion rank among the two writers who I would love to meet.

Arcadia...

"It's the wanting to know that makes us matter. Otherwise we go out the way we came in."

"We shed as we pick up, like travellers who must carry everything in their arms, and what we let fall will be picked up by those behind. The procession is very long and life is very short. We die on the march. But there is nothing outside the march so nothing can be lost to it. The missing plays of Sophocles will turn up piece by piece, or be written again in another language. Ancient cures for diseases will reveal themselves once more. Mathematical discoveries glimpsed and lost to view will have their time again."

"When we have found all the meanings and lost all the mysteries, we will be alone, on an empty shore."

Old and together on 5th avenue

The spaces in between the fragments of moments. The piercing pain and the cries of the mermaids.

Touch my mind.... please.
