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.

Pipilotti Rist-Text Commentary

Rist makes art that expresses her struggles with love and everythign that comes with it. I can completely understand where she is coming from. I too am often guided by emotions in my projects. They start having their own feelings, attitudes, aura's... The author of this article describes her as today's spokeswoman for the archetype of the love starved maiden. She calls it patheic. I think that is quite harsh. Not every maiden is loved starved. There are some men who are as well. Men who would love to live out the fantasy that they have drempt love to be. Isn't that what we are all essentally after anyway? The missing piece to our story...our fairytale? I admire Rist, and the way her heartache and jealousy seep pver her emotional spillway and flood her artistic practice. The way she is inspired by the longings that are unfulfilled and lust that is recalcitrant. Feed off of it. Let your art live for you, not for anyone else...but if it helps someone along the way, transcends them...Kudos...
