01.21 FOR ART'S SAKE

Where I feel accomplished having uploaded digital photos to this site, my housemates never fail to astound me in their artistic efforts.

Sean, of all of them, goes to the greatest lengths to merge media with materials of all sorts. More often than not at least one of those materials stains, leaks, pours, or sticks permanently.

The mess of the month always turns into something outrageous and ingenious and is well worth the high you get inhaling ink for a week or the ringing in the ears after hours of incessant base replayed over and over and over at volumes loud enough to capture microscopic vibrations in sand on film. In this project he combined black ink and stereo sound for a film project he's taking on.

I consider myself a creative sort, but in such a different and blunted way than the other egg soldiers.

In any event its great to be surrounded by art in the making - even if the bathroom looks like an octopus exploded out of the drain.
