Dr. Zhivago

We're still in a deep freeze! Today's tip is to open your blinds so you don't end up with ice in the windows. Blinds are too good at trapping cold air these days! I just had to put the Shamwow in the living room window because ice formed at the top and started dripping. Sigh...I'm sure that will be next year's home reno project :-D

Days like this always remind me of Dr. Zhivago, particularly this scene:

ACAD310 - Timeless

Here's my first project for ACAD310, my only studio class this semester. Yesterday's critiques went well. It was very dense and after a while, people were starting to get tired. Three hours of examining, questioning and listening to art was exhausting. I'm glad I went first. My clock was well received and some of the questions revolved around the shapes and colours choices. I most talked about the construction. The clock is called Timeless since I no longer possess any sense of time, or at least time dictated by external forces.





Here are some more pictures of Timeless from different angles and times of day. Sometimes it looks blue, gold and silver. Other times it looks gold and green or purple. The shadows between the layers are really neat. Click through for the whole gallery.





There isn't a class next week as it is reading break. Our only homework is to finish a reading response and watch The Matrix. I think I'm the second oldest person in the class, so I'll try to avoid "Kids, let me tell you alllllll about the 90s." I hope I can convey how AWESOME this movie was at the time though!
