i skipped soccer today, thinking i would do some work. but friso, kuniko and i decided last minute to head for the art exhibition put up by the michigan art school. one of the artists who has his work exhibited lives here in the coop and has sent out an invitation. brent fogt has tiny stuffs drawn with colored pencils over some white walls in the gallery. his work actually represents the pilgrimage and hardships artists have to go through in order to arrive at a place in texas. this place contains captivating works of art by a deceased artist.
"it's about the journey", brent commented.
the tiny figures and shapes drawn scrupulously on the wall by brent also represent continents on the map. he said that when he thought about asians, the shape of the circle came into his mind. that's why, if you look at the whole picture, the majority of tiny circles indicate the asian people. it's interesting. it makes me wonder: what shapes or colors come into my mind, when i think about the americans, asians, or any particular individual for that matter? likewise, what race comes into my mind, when i think about shapeless or amorphous images?
oh, just a while ago, i was thinking about the dream i had last night. it's like a repetition of what i had a few nights ago. this time round, it was much more emotionally intense. the image...was clearer too. what, i wonder, would be the sequel to that?it's good and bad...that we are not in control of the choices we make in our dreams. we can't blame ourselves if we become a little too deviant in our behaviours.
