coming together
11232008
these are demanding times. these are inspirational times.
someone recently handed me a card at a party. but rather than the usual jargon, it simply read this: a study conducted in 100 countries found that regardless of race, age, gender, or status, people who set definable, measurable goals with a timeline, and a deadline are 10 times more likely to achieve them.
and so i draw upon my friend’s talents and generosity to get me through.
thank you neda, foster, nahana, laura and heidi. femme fatale five. and to charley. a true professional.

twilight in LA

Hustlers, Philip-Lorca diCorcia
It might be said that twilight is a muddled form of clarity. The warm glow that suffuses the ‘golden hour’ in Los Angeles acts to filter the grim realities, the outright lies, the self-deceptions, which allow Hollywood, and by extension, America to flourish. ‘Twilight’ provides the rose-coloured glasses that make it possible to see out but not see in.’ - Philip-Lorca diCorcia

been thinking lately about Robert Longo’s 1980 series of lithographs, Men in the Cities. something about the stripped down nature of the drawings along with the odd contradiction of their sharply dressed but grossly contorted figures.

my name is addition by subtraction
11062008
for my pcomp final i was interested in building something that was more architectural in nature. i’ve always been interested in layering textures and patterns in multiple ways to create something else entirely whether it be structural or more graphic in nature. in contrast, the process of subtraction rather than multiplication is the process of removal from the existing to create new relationships. within this dichotomy i hope to discover something new.
been thinking about modular patterns found in real life.
