“The artist’s task is to save the soul of mankind; and anything less is a dithering while Rome burns. Because of the artists, who are self-selected, for being able to journey into the Other, if the artists cannot find the way, then the way cannot be found.”
- Terence McKenna.

Sarah van Ouwerkerk, a Pratt professor, arranged for Lucille and her stable mate, Gracie, to spend the day on campus so students could draw them from life, which some students said was a different experience from drawing from a photograph. “You can learn from pictures,” said Mae Armenante, 18, a freshman from Oradell, N.J., “but having the real thing is so much cooler.”
Like the return of the swallows to Mission San Juan Capistrano in California, the arrival of the horses is a much-anticipated moment, at least at Pratt. Unlike the swallows, though, the horses do not arrive under their own power. Lucille, a brown quarter-horse, and Gracie, an Andalusian Welsh cross, endured a four-hour trailer ride from Tyler Hill, Pa.
Two projects done: The blouse was made from a scarf I got at the consignment shop- it said 100% silk on it but I am highly doubtful, don't think it saw many worms in it's manufacture. Had a bunch of little embroidered mirrors hanging around and figured that a little extra color wouldn't be noticed in this thing!
And I also finished up the little stenciled bag the other day. I wanted something heavy-ish so I could close it when not in use, and tried all sots of button combos but nothing worked. Finally I settled on a metal hand from Mexico and it works great- enough weight to keep the bag closed, yet light enough I can flip it over when I need something. I still don't know if it will make the Amsterdam cut- I am desperately trying to keep
it all in a carry-on. So, meet my HAND-bag!
I know, I know, I shouldn't put a linen bag on a linen tablecloth to snap a quick picture. But I already showed you the silver paint and the stitching, just look at the hand!
(TALK TO THE HAND!!)
The artist Ed Ruscha has made Time magazine's 100 most influential people list. He shares the honor with the likes of Jay-Z, Steven Spielberg, Kim Jong Un, Justin Timberlake and Lebron James. Mazel! Mr. Ruscha currently has an excellent show on view in New York at Gagosian Gallery's Madison Avenue location. Of his work, Time writes, "But even if Ruscha never met a word he couldn’t unsettle, let’s hang on to the one we need sometimes to describe him: genius." He's the only visual artist on the list, though the architect Wang Shu also made the cut.
