Why Not A Pomegranate?

some designs ive been working on...the synth sisters!!!

One of the things I like about spinning is that it feels like looking closely. Take a t-shirt from your closet. Look closely. It's probably knitted. You can see the tiny chevrons. You can see the way those interlocking loops stretch when you pull on the fabric. Look closer. Each chevron is made up of fine thread. Look closer. You probably can't even see this level of detail, but each thread is plied from finer strands. Look closer (you would need a microscope). Each strand is twisted from smaller fibers. When I spin, this recursive structure becomes obvious. Each level of structure its own long, slow stage of creation. I work from part to whole. Fiber, spun into a single, plied into a yarn, knitted into a fabric. Now when I'm lying in bed in the morning, I look closely at where the light catches the individual threads in my pillowcase, and instead of a shape, I see a structure.

Mountains and turrets make up the background behind her.]

Jean Baudrillard would have loved this.

I’ve been playing so much sudoku. You have no idea how much sudoku I’m playing. Every time I close my eyes I see the grid. I’m making moves in my sleep. 179432568. 653897124. 824516937. 915683742. 246175893. 387249615. 561724389. 498351276. 732968451. This morning before I was fully awake I was playing sudoku in my head. I rise with the dawn. I’m a warrior of numbers. You’re nothing to me.

The iron fortress of my mind is like the torment nexus for Arabic numerals 1 through 9. No puzzle forged against me shall prosper. I’m the square’s strongest soldier. You can’t even count, bitch. If sudoku was a drug I’d be in rehab, except I wouldn’t, because I never quit. There are 81 squares in the sudoku board and that means there are at least 81 things that are more important than you. Now get the fuck out of my sight.

I wasn't finished yet. I'm scribing numbers you haven't even heard of. I play so much sudoku in my brain I can't tell if I actually played sudoku this morning, or if I just thought about it really hard. I asked the lady at the checkout counter if she had any more sudoku puzzles. She said "i'll check in the back." She went to the back, and she never came back. I'm like a cave fish. I'm losing senses I don't need. I'm adapted to my environment. I don't know who I am anymore

drew this earlier today cause i was tired of not drawing something awful 

you dont have to be a parent to understand the horror of walking into a room to discover that the baby crawled out of his crib and onto that pottery wheel you forgot to turn off, and while the baby is spinning around and around, the dog is sitting there all calm, like a person, gently using his paws to fashion the babys soft cartilage head into something a little more modern.  it might be the classic tale of bad parenting, but lets see where the dog is going with this

This post is from 2013. It has less than 100 notes. Together we can revive this work of art that tragically ahead of its time. We’re ready for it now

couldn’t stop thinking about this post
