Louise Bourgeois, from Album, 1994

"This 1994 autobiographical work, titled “Album,” is comprised of old family photographs along with texts by the artist. It is based on a slideshow-format film Bourgeois created in 1983 titled “Partial Recall.” This film was presented in the lobby of The Museum of Modern Art, New York in conjunction with the artist’s 1982–1983 retrospective there. Many of the images in that film appear in “Album,” and much of the book's text comes from the film's voice-over narration by the artist.

“Album” documents aspects of Bourgeois’s early life. The artist, born in 1911, had two siblings: an older sister called Henriette, and a younger brother, Pierre. Until she was six years old, the family lived in Choisy-le-Roi, France in a large home that accommodated the family’s tapestry restoration business, near the River Seine. When World War I broke out, her father enlisted. His wife visited him at various encampments with the young Louise in tow. After the war, the family moved to Antony on the banks of the Bièvre River. They chose their homes with proximity to rivers since the water was important to the process of tapestry restoration. In the early twenties, an English tutor named Sadie Gordon Richmond was hired for the children, but also became the father’s mistress. She stayed in the house for ten years, causing Bourgeois great distress and memories that lasted a lifetime."

I hate that the british empire uses shakespeare as a symbol of their supposed supremacy, not only because his actual plays are very critical of britain in many ways, but also because his plays really are that good. like if they sucked, it would be much more useful for our rhetorical purposes, but they don’t suck. they legitimately are the best works of writing in the english language. fuck my stupid baka life -_-

I’m still alive, just busy with school.  It’s been a dogs age since I’ve gotten to draw for myself but I’m super duper happy with how this came out.  It feels good to see the gang all together!

A Study of Edgar Payne, he had this great impressionistic approach to landscapes and kept this vibrancy to everything. Trying to learn a thing or two.

Twenty Mule Team Wagon Model... Part One

I am an artist not just about maritime and/or ship models; but one that covers several areas (or genres). This wood diorama of the borax team wagons is one of them. However, my focus is on home decor where this type of work can be showcased.
