Idea behind (skid_concept)

By definition...

Main Entry: 1skid
Pronunciation: \skid\
Function: noun, verb
Etymology: perhaps of Scandinavian origin; akin to Old Norse skīth "stick of wood"
Date: circa 1610

1: one of a group of objects (as planks or logs) used to support or elevate a structure or object
2: to apply a brake or skid to : slow or halt by a skid

I could take a couple of different perspectives on this idea. One being, my ideas are used to support and progess something towards bettering itself. Two, I apply a break to myself. Acting without or before thinking only brings unecessary complexity and consequences. Or it could just be a simple play on my name...

Insight.

I'm a moderately expressed extrovert, who thinks outloud. I like to expand upon my emotions. I'm fatigued by a lack of stimulation. I live life to understand it. I am an idealist. A conceptualist. I match my artistic style to French Art Nuveau. I share an afinity for flat dynamic silhouettes, with subtle accents. I have a love for drawing. I never start a project without fully sketching out my ideas.

I visualize the completed elements as awhole through use of my imagination. Before whn I studied architecture I didall of my drawings by hand. It is said that there are some thigns a computer cando better than the hand. I believe it is the other way around. Hand drawings are beautiful and bring line to life. A new element is added to the picture, human vulnerability in making mistakes.

January 23rd- Class Commentary

THERE WAS ONE THING that Mary said that really bothered me. She made a comment about the tumble weeds after they "died". As tormented and crazy as I thought she was from the first impression, I never once figured that she would just agree scientifically that these weeds died. For someone that seems like she has trouble letting go of her persona, her past, her struggles....someone who believes that she has been tomented by ghosts... someone who apparently believes in the afterlife, whether it is real or just an expression of existential realism, refering to the tumbling weeds as "dead' bothered me.

Who says the tumble weeds are dead? I feel like the act of them breaking off and becoming kinetic sounds like they are just starting their secondary life. A life that is meant to be used to travel the winds and traverse the terrain. A "life" that is still vibrant and full of purpose and promise.

I don't know if anyone else noticed...but in all of her pieces that involved human form...there were sewing pins stuck through the heads or neck. Is there a reason for this? Is she trying to kill or cut off the life line? Are these representations of pieces of her life that she wants to forget or disown?
