Questions and lack of sleep!

It was a good day on Friday...some clarity towards Ron Rado and the Interactions exhibitions... a humble but good feeling in the class..and at last some direction with the last video painting...well done.
Ron Rado was a business man with vision. I met him only once a few months before he died. He came in to the department because he want th art students to help design go karts for kids..at Gumbaya Park..One got the feeling this man lived every day..

Reading "Questions" I'm not sure we have a choice much of the time. As much as we want to think we can control tomorrow, it really isn't up to us. The word" important" too, seems very relative...important to who, what, etc...

The artist Turner, produced both quality and quantity.. (most of his work is stored in the vaults under the old Tate Museum in London). Van Gogh lived quite a tortured life, yet read his letters to his brotherTheo, and it reveals a man of great intelligence and sentitivity...the moments he spent painting and drawing were his bliss...

The Sculptor Alexander Calder (see the film of his CIRCUS that he made out of wire)had an almost childlike wonderment about life...and lived a long life.

I guess for me you are in "the moment" and you make of it what you can. Try to say yes to life...when things are low, there is always another perspective and it's our choice what we do with our minds...there is the thought..that every challenge brings with it an opportunity...

The camera idea for the video ...I like it Pradnya...it takes the viewer into your world....go for it!
