looks like more rain… beautiful (non-emo) sadness. It is hot and bright here. I can see the clouds on the horizon every day but the city heat keeps it from coming in… too much concrete :(
mimi yoon replied
thanks scott~
you could be my twin brother… : )
scott allison
let’s be then… separated at birth!
mimi yoon replied
signed…
happy to find you again brother! : )
Glen Allen
ooh scary but excellent!
mimi yoon replied
thank you glen!!! : )
scott allison
as am i sister ...my/our older siblings will be so surprised! you get to be another black sheep in my family :)
mimi yoon
ok… let’s just be true to our creative minds…
i’m the older twin and you are still the youngest : )
scott allison
...all my life i spend as the youngest and you take away my one opportunity to have a younger sibling… sigh haha!
I’m not worried we will begin to conform. We could collaborate though… that would be interesting.
mimi yoon replied
love that idea scott… i mean baby brother!!! : )
paul romanowski
Ok, date hand on lense…why not, story is being told.
mimi yoon replied
: ) ok paul, and the story is?
scott allison
ok big sister, do you like this plan:
I can build 2 small stubstrates out of wood so they can be mailed and start paintings on them and send them to you. We can send them back and forth until we feel they are done and each of us keep one when finished… the works becomeing seperated twins (us).
mimi yoon replied
yes! love it!
emmm… what if they get over worked on? i know you’re quite a minimalist and all your works are very fresh. i usually finish a piece in 40 min to 1.5 hours… are we making an exception with these pieces? will two pieces be identical? never mind… we are fraternal so no need to be identical yet they should definitely be a set.
scott allison
perhaps they will require only one pass each so we can retain our fresh approach. Overworking them could ruin the outcome (usually does). I agree that they should be a set but not identical… perhaps continuous halves but able to stand alone as well.
So I will start them, send them to you, you work on them and send one back. Of course, we will have to post them together when finished.
Maybe we can start a collaboration group on here and get others to try similar experiments…
mimi yoon
send me one for me to start… you start on the other piece… send each other what we’ve worked on… we finish each others… then send back… keep the piece we started but finished by the other… how’s that? but in order to make them a set, we will have to come up with a subject, I think.
or one project you start first then I finish… and the next one, I start first and you finish… ahhh, rain would be a good subject. : )
paul romanowski
The story is elsewhere…
mimi yoon replied
you are making me curious… tell me where elsewhere paul!

mimi yoon replied

the exit
No now its the past. Once noticed a thing is of the past So whats your next future to look like?
( : – P My the Future is a fleeting little individual MMMM I am appreciative of your pursuit of the edge of the envelope. Sitting on the edge is where you see whats coming first..before its past. ( ; – ))
OMMMMMMMMMMM

Krisso
Doesn’t look Emo to me Mimi…. Just looks brilliant. You painted this…. Just awesome!
mimi yoon replied
thanx krisso… you are a sweetie!!!
emo… i mentioned it just because my students think i’m becoming one watching me create dark paintings lately… i don’t have an ounce of emo in me… not even a teaspoonful… that would be a lie… or not. : )
bodymechanic
it reminds me of the scene from the original phsyco
mimi yoon replied
it could be many things… don’t you think?
thank you steve for stopping by~ : )
Min-Woo Bang

mimi yoon replied
thank you min-woo C !!! : )
ZazaLogik
Wonderfully disturbing composition.
mimi yoon replied
why thank you zazalogik… your art too have it~ : )
Nicholas Johnston
Mimi I love this, especially how you have put the bar code and the date into the painted image. It turns this painting into something else, into something more documentary than expressionist. Like it’s a disconnected picture seen on a surveillance camera.
mimi yoon replied
ooooo….. i love your interpretation a whole lot better than my art itself : ) as soon as i had it up without the date and the barcode, i realized that it needed something more… yes, to document the state of being (may be mine, may be not)... a disconnected or staticky picture of surveillance camera somehow fits perfect…
“disconnected surveillance” for title? what do you think?
thank you nicholas~
: ) mimi
coni
your works in acrylic are very “human” and expressive,yep!!
mimi yoon replied
thanks coni… you’re very kind! : )
