listen up lover, i never will

today i turned 20. how strange. but i had a truly wonderful birthday weekend. it couldn't have been any better.

i went apple and pumpkin picking with my loveliest friends.



it was my first time so i was very excited




these beautiful pictures were taken by steph.
i also went to a wonderful festival in downtown cleveland called ingenuity which was so magical.



lots of crazy things were there.
and we saw the most creative puppet show in the world.


lots of public art.








these gorgeous pictures were taken by my friend adam.

will you hold me when i come home?

i am realizing how difficult it is to keep up this blog and keep up with school...

nonetheless, here are a few things i have been looking at lately.

some dada collage, since i have realized how dada-like my own collages really were. for my installation class i will be expanding upon my current collages and then creating real-life spaces inspired by them, all inspired by the dada movement of course.

Raoul Hausmann

Hannah Hoch

im also working on a series of toasting vessels spanning from greco-roman times to current loving cups, and all the puzzle jugs and fuddling cups in between. it will be a series of 12, which means i have to make at least twice that the get what i really want, so it's certainly keeping me busy.

of course i'll post images of my own work as soon as i finish it!
