In his long narrative, “Milton”, Blake describes how the author of “Paradise Lost” returned from heaven and entered Blake’s foot in the form of a comet. Afterwards, the familiar world of the five senses turned into a shoe. Blake tied the shoe and walked with the Spirit of Poetry to the City of Art. A few years later, back in the ordinary world, Blake saw a twelve-year- old girl flying down to him. He mistook the girl for one of his own muses, and invited her into his cottage to visit with him and his wife, who could also see and hear “the spirits”. The girl explained that she was actually looking for John Milton. The older poet emerged from Blake’s foot, and in an apocalyptic scene, the ordinary world was transformed along with all of human perception. / Acrylics, metallic pigment and ink
I am the elephant. Only in the sense that I had the experience once of looking at a dragonfly which was vibrating its head back and forth. I believe it was trying to comprehend in some way the large mass (or elephant) which hd intruded between it and the sky. When you look into the lving world, what looks back? How do we take in what we see? There are questions but not, I think, answers in these matters.
The first form of perfume was incense. Incense was first discovered by the Mesopotamians about 4,000 years ago. Ancient cultures burned many kinds of resins, bums and woods at their religious ceremonies. They often soaked the fragrant woods and resins in water and oil, and rubbed their bodies with the liquid. They also embalmed the dead with these perfumes.> Early Europeans used many different containers to store their perfumes.> They used glass, gold, silver, porcelain, gems, pearls, semi-precious stones and various shells. Perfume was commonly used in the form of incense.> Some incense burners consisted of a container held from chains. It was swung like a pendulum during Mass in the Christian Church. There were also stationary incense burners used in Churches.> Some perfume containers were designed to be worn. Semi-precious stones held perfumes and were pinned to clothing. Silver earrings were worn that contained perfume soaked fabric inside them.> Many containers were designed to be hung around the neck, from a belt, or from a finger ring.> Perfume bottles were always handcrafted and designed by artists, jewelers and goldsmiths. Many bottles were designed to be worn, or displayed on a table.> Nefertiti, an Egyptian beauty from an earlier dynasty, surrounded herself with perfume: containers with myrrh, flacons filled with sweet oils, and handsomely ornamented jars of unguents.> Things have certainly changed in our world of perfume bottles since this time in history wouldn’t you agree ladies.. far less decadence …

A self-portrait within a self-portrait. The giant face was drawn freehand by me using white charcoal & white chalk pastel on 22×30” black paper. It is the self-portrait assignment I’ve been working on for my drawing class, it’s not quite finished, hence the imperfections, but I thought that fit nicely with the concept I was going for. The idea is that we sometimes see ourselves in a distorted manner; working on this drawing I’ve noticed certain details and flaws on my face that I’ve never fully observed before because I’ve never had to study and look at my face for such long periods of time. / Through our distorted self-perceptions, we often feel the need to recreate or modify ourselves to be the way we want to be both inside and outside.

FE Talis var.I. Reaper Destruction is his game / An art form / fine tuned and pitch perfect / Played solo but / with captive audience. / Voracious eater / Insatiable / He leaves nothing / to chance / Self serving / He is his / Golden Calf.
Another piece for my photography final, “Fragmented Self-Image”. I can’t help but constantly compare myself to others whom I think are more attractive or better than I am. / I’m bound and powerless to the need to compare myself no matter what I do. / I’ve been like this even before my eating disorder, and I have no doubt that this was a major influence in what caused me to have an eating disorder.
Last summer I spent living on a boat in the North Pacific on the north west side of The Queen Charlotte Islands in Canada. (left is Graham Islans & right is Hippa) I can’t describe it and I’m one to go on about things. Living with the same 8 people in isolation for 120 days… you need to get away. I spent a lot of time in the kayak. I had never done it before and I fell in love. I kayaked in the ocean. Curious seals befriended me from their cautious distance of about 4 feet. Watching sunsets floating in the middle of nowhere is a priceless experience & I’d often pass up warn dinner to be out there. I quite liked the name of the little plastic vessel. ‘Perception’. That’s what it’s all about for me. this photo is not selective colour edited. it is a full colour photograph. shot with my Canon Rebel XT (that’s x-tra trout, baby!) Look! my very own motivational poster! Coming soon to a gloomy office near you! /
They were out on the same walk She saw buildings / He saw the sky She saw shadows / He saw the shadows of birds that fly She saw a crack / He saw a crevice She saw a hole / He saw a ditch She saw the homeless / He saw the rich She saw a rock / He saw a diamond When they got home they looked into each other’s eyes, / How shall we ever agree on this life at the same time? / They said all at once / Well… / She said / We must learn to revel in our differences / Lets go against society, / Every time I see differently or you do / Lets break out the champagne and the sweet meats / Every time one sees a problem.. Lets celebrate for the other / Every time one sees a solutions lets do it again … / Celebrate / Celebrate each other.. And then we will loose track of / Perfect timing cause every moment will be just perfect!! So they made a pact and they went for walks / When she saw buildings and he saw the sky they both / Were so happy for what the other was seeing it was like they were seeing EVERYTHING ALL AT ONCE. / It was like it did not matter any more who saw what when or where; It just mattered that they were together. / And guess what? / THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER… TEE HEE / THE END Linaji 2009
from a fractal…....... would love a poem with this one too:).Update: There is a poem written as you keep reading by my cousin happy feet5 so this has become a collaboration event of all whom have commented lol! titles given so far : Abiss mesmerized…… You have Painted Music Isa Madonna&child’ Cycles of Green’ Continium… Absinthe & Cinnamon Feminine Soul, Veiled Emotion- Into the Mystic. “Visual symphony” To the Mystic silken Gold Lemon meringue Swirling Emotions Embryonic swan Visual Symphony In the wind there are Ghosts The Swirl Golden Abyss thanks always for all of your friendship and support .. your comments here are like gold. And this is what my cousin Happy feet 5 wrote when she saw this image and read the titles given !! I came upon a piece of art / a fractal I was told / and as I kept looking at it / I was mesmerized / My heart stood still / it went on hold. For as I kept on looking at this strange beauty / different things came into my mind. / At first it was a Madonna and child in the womb / waiting with love for when it was time / to hold him in her loving arms / cooing him and letting him know that everything would be fine. Suddenly the image changed / every thing began to swirl / I saw dancing and some swirling / to music that was divine / and my heart stood still / for the rhythm and its symphony came from heaven / and it beckoned me to follow / and mesmerized I didn’t want to be left behind. / What I saw was veiled emotions / with cycles of green / and as I swirled and twirled / I fell into an abyss of visual symphony. / Oh, what great ecstasy. / Isa, you painted music

I couldn’t do anything happy yesterday.. my art felt dark and it scared me. I trashed for hours so much.. which I don’t mind and am not fearful of as for me it is practice. but this is what came as a finished piece after hours.. she is my darkness.. she is my retrograde.. here is a great journal that tammy/moonsprial put out.. I don’t do forums but it is interesting how she points out the feelings I seemed to have felt lately. Betrayal and Anger too.. / ∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ /
