... apparently she can buy me more than a couple. "I also bought you two heads of lettuce"
What am I going to do with two heads of lettuce? But I do like eating lettuce. Vegemite on lettuce yum yum yum HAHAHA god why am I the only one that eats that?
I now also have a pumpkin, many lemons (mmmmmm lemon), lots of mushrooms and mandarins. I'm ok for food for the next few weeks. Yayyy.
I'm feeling happier at the moment. I think it's because I've started guitar and singing again. I also saw the sunset for the first time in a long while... it was really nice. I kept looking at those little birds today and that made me happy too.
After going to studio for some feedback, I wandered down to the Australian NGV to see Fred Williams: Infinite Horizons. I used my last free ticket as it was going to expire in a couple of days anyway.
I particularly liked his earlier works (the ones before 1970) like Sapling forest, Circular hillside landscape, You Yangs landscape II, Australian landscape and Minimal landscape. I was going to find links for all of them but the images aren't as good as seeing them in person. I think my favourite out of the ones that I listed was Minimal landscape... because of how effortless it seemed and yet it was just so beautiful and had so much colour in the little marks. Anyway yes you wont know what i'm talking about unless you've seen it, hahahah.
A few quotes from around the gallery:
"The fullness of emptiness"
"The rarest of artists are the ones who see familiar things as no one has previously seen them, and who, in setting down their vision, reshape our world for us."
I was looking at one of his last paintings and it was of the outback and the colours of the earth and trees were so beautiful. The only thing I thought was ugly was the road.
& that made me think about roads, cement pathways and passageways built for us. I think it's weird how we follow the paths other people have built, when there are maybe more natural ways for us to wander.
I also went and saw Fred Kruger: Intimate Landscapes. I THOUGHT THEY WERE THE SAME THING... because the names are so similar. I think that I don't really read words properly, i just look at how letters look together and how that feels. I quite often go through books without really knowing how to say the protagonist's name (or what it even is). Anyway, I also enjoyed this photography exhibition. I loved the old photographs, sometimes I thought that they were paintings. I really love photography sometimes... I was looking at one of the images and there were some people talking and there was a boat in the background and I thought to myself how nice it would be to be a photograph of a happy moment... because then you could live that moment forever. It sounds silly, but even though it's only been a semester.. there are plenty of moments that I wish I could re-live - Not because I didn't appreciate them at the time, but because it was quite pleasant and my soul felt at peace.
I went to the library afterwards to suss out the plans to the old Queen Victoria hospital. Everyone was really helpful cus I had no clue where/what to do. This lady helped me order them in from Bendigo and they're meant to arrive on Thursday. I'm not going to rely on them much for my project because I'm not even sure if they're come in handy, but either way I think it'll be interesting to have a look at them.
Worrying never really helps. I think if I start worrying it means I'm not doing anything and I'm just procrastinating by worrying WHICH IS SILLY. So! I am going to go with the flow and just make things and write ideas and hopefully that will lead me in a direction that I end in an outcome in which I am happy with!
