i bet it's gonna be a while, kid

hello hello !
everything has been absolute INSANITY the last couple of weeks.
school schooooollll art art art wine wine apartment hunting more apartment hunting
ugh so much. AND IT'S ABOUT TO GET WORSE. I was accepted into SAIC's annual
Artbash freshman showcase and hopefully I will be accepted twice over. My performance
proposal is still being processed but HOPEFULLY that will be accepted too!
Acceptance to Artbash's "alternate space" means I have to make a new piece that is sight
specific to my installation space. I was assigned a large wall space
and told to create a 5 by 5 foot sculptural wall piece within my sculptural aesthetic.
COOL MORE WORK- but yipeeee i'm succeeding!
Amidst Artbash hysteria I have also been making LOTS of videos which I will have up on my web site soon (www.cargocollective.com/thetides) and am currently preparing to be slapped in the face with huge final projects and collections.
I'm just bracing myself for the hurricane of work, blood, sweat and tears.

Like I mentioned earlier my 2 room mates and I have been mad apartment hunting so naturally I've been collecting decorative inspiration... cannot wait cannot wait cannot wait.

eeeeeeeeek!

Lana Del Rey

Born to Die

This video was shown to me by a close friend of mine recently. 

Although I do not know much about Lana Del Rey as an artist I love this video. 

I'll say this with the risk of sounding completely melodramatic but- I normally physically and mentally cannot watch music videos like this for reasons that don't really make sense. My closest friends know

that I will literally leave the room, party or restaurant if certain music comes on.

After watching Rihanna's We Found Love for the first time I just about vomited. 

Too close to home for me and put too simply. But this video- I don't know. It's good.

The best part about it is that the concept for the video was created completely by Lana Del Ray.

Although, she did not direct the video she was a large part of its creation and production. That says

a lot about her as an artist in my opinion. The quality, color and dynamic is just GOOD. 

Although the bed scene is a little much for me....

My favorite line? "You like your girls insane."

im ready i am

FINAL CORE STUDIO COLLECTION (SAIC 15')

I dont think i've ever been this inspired, this proud or this ready to move forward.

Winter break will be nothing but art every single day. 

Thank you School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
