wise words for us all...

-words on our way-
wise words for us all...

From Maria, through Paula…




SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO CLOSE YOUR EYES AND THROW YOUR SELF INTO THE COLD WATER! YOU MIGHT FREEZE YOU MIGHT REGRET AND YOU MIGHT ENJOY IT SO MUCH THAT YOU WANT TO DO IT EVERYDAY.

I fully understand if you don’t feel ready of if you don’t connect to this project. Following deadlines is quite important in our adult life and specially if you want to accomplish something as an artist. Some people are more enthusiastic than others---they move the world forward!

I believe the "forced" thing is a private matter. I my self feel "fucked up"
with so much work in front of me. But I also have to drink the coffee while it’s warm. After all...isn’t art about taking chances?

I hope that you find out what’s important for you and follow your inner voice, and if you fall into the cold water...swim!

QWERTY

”Have you ever asked yourself why the letters of a typewriter’s keyboard are placed in the order they are?

- No, I have never asked myself that question.
- We can call this keyboard QWERTY, the first keys of the upper row are placed like that.

The first typewriter was evened by Christopher Scholes in 1873, in order to improve the calligraphy. However, soon a problem arose, when the type arms strikes against each other and made it impossible to write.

Then Christopher Scholes designed the keyboard QWERTY, a keyboard which should force the user to write more slowly and not faster. The typewriter's as well as the computer's keyboards were from the beginning designed for slower writing and not faster”.

From Paulo Coelhos Veronika decide morrer.

From avocado pell to plastic cans...






From avocado pell to platsic cans, and some glass beads...

Here are some photos on model about my way of working to find the idea about the consumer society. It’s a lot of ideas; it’s a lot of materials…Or may be the combination of materials?!
I’m interesting about the things we have in our homes, everyday life things and the combination with glass beads.
I have new ideas to work further with; one thing leads to the other. That’s a nice feeling, to see what’s happened and take responsibility for the “next” thing/idea that shows up.
This is not the end...I hope that the end never shows up, it’s a process.

“Every glass bead is a thought, a hope about love and happiness.”

“Contemplative condition in a hectic consumer society, fast, fast…”

Necklace
Material: avocado peel, deo cans to soap cans and plastic/glass beads and porcelain figure.
