i just thought i’d let you guys know about this show happening in Corner Brook on June 2nd. It’s my second solo show, a show displaying my work in print. the title of the show is “In print” (clever, huh?). This show runs until july 31st and should be quite the substantive amount of artwork, so you can maybe find something in amongst the work that you could take a liking to.
I want to thank angela for being wonderful in having me there and a major thanks to Laura Tiller, the hardest working curator i’ve met so far. Laura, if you don’t get that bottle of wine to yourself, then i’ll make sure you get one when i get back. you’re the most deserving of it!
not all that often do i make posts on this blog with much personal baggage. I know because of my academics, this isn’t much the space to accommodate that. i’m not sure just how to go about incorporating any social squabbles or foibles i would have in the run of the day and, with all honesty, when you arrive at the computer to type in these entries, you really can’t make much out much of the emotional reckoning you did that day.
Warning: this message is prone to meandering. for those of you looking for something concrete in subject or theme, i can’t help you in this post. but stick around, regardless. this might just foster and grow into something solid soon. don’t lose hope!
Alot of frustration can come with just living in residence. Again, i know, i signed up for this. my name is on the dotted line and no one elses, but still. having to put yourself in a very outer-dependent, communal living condition is, well, less than stellar for me.
the kitchen’s get crowded very easily. 12 people, all wanting food within a 160 square foot room with regular appliances can get very crazy. a third of this space is also taken up by a large table. Dishes are shared, which is awesome, until you realize that people lose sense of the ‘sharing” part. we all have our times of hoarding mugs from being too lazy to go clean them. and no, piling the dishes into your room is not the best idea for Gerard’s “Crusty pile” project.
The cafeteria is a strange dichotomy of the University Student species. Seated in the first row are usually the Biology students, next seated to faithful professors, then the next 3 rows of tables are a mainstream of Visual Arts students (the home team) and then miscellaneous students of varying majors. Gerard, Kris and connor also fit into this mix as well.
England is also quite miniature to what you’d see on map. Alot of things are downsized here, with even mid-sized sedans being quite large for the roads and parking spots here. excellent is how most streets are adorned by model cars like the MINI coopers and Fiats to something quite common in North America like Ford.
I’m only now noticing how many old people go to tesco. I’m also noticing how much i go to tesco. i guess the amazing part of finding out everything is cheap in there fades away, only for you to realize it’s a few isles too many for a seniors club.
I have to stop going to tesco soooo often.
I also hate barclays with a passion. I know, it wasn’t old barclays that stole my card, but still. security could be improved on these machines so that they’re not so susceptible to these fixes that steal people’s cards. i also didn’t enjoy how i needed to show a passport to get funds from a VISA card. Apparently i need no such thing when making a purchase with the card, but if i need solid cash from it, i need something next to my fingerprint to prove it’s my card.
I have my camera back. well, i got a new charger for it since my charger was left in canada. it feels good to be able to document in the way that i want. i’ll also be trying out new videos as well.
also, Hello Martine’s Mom! I’m very glad to hear you’re reading this blog and hope you’re enjoying it. i’ll be sure to pack a bit more Martine into my posts for you. : )
okay, now on to some work. here's a video to a new song called "The Final Level". Cheers!
