I am a Shojo, a castmember, a thespian, a fangirl, an adorable weirdo, a cook, a greysexual she/her, a dog aunt, a lover of the robots, and an enthusist of all of the things. Hi.
“When I first saw the original painting, I began to do some research on
that little boy. I could find everything I wanted about every other
detail in the painting, but there was nothing about him. No history. And
so I wanted to find a way to imagine a life for this young man that the
historical painting had never made space for in the composition: his
desires, dreams, family, thoughts, hopes. Those things were never
subjects that the original artist wanted the viewer to contemplate. In
order to reframe the discussion, I decided to physically take action to
quiet [and crumple] the side of the painting that we’ve been talking
about for a very long time and turn up the volume on this kid’s story.
And that’s the reason why I started that painting.” Via Artnet News 2019/03/27
Something a little different today! I made a fun lil UQUIZ, take it and lemme know what you think
Your Result: Beauty
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and no set of eyes is quite like any other. You see the world in a way that’s totally unique, and the things that seem beautiful to you may seem strange or surreal to others. You’re attracted to the fragmented, the transitory, the delicate moment balanced on the edge of a knife. Then you pounce, and catch another moment, a snatch of song, the path of a blossom falling from a tree, and add it to your accumulation of treasures. Even if you haven’t yet found your medium of choice, you already see – touch, taste, hear – the world like an artist, and treasure its beauty wherever you can. The world is lovelier for having been distilled through your mind.
