--->Experiments:
For experimentation, sometimes I combine self-composed music with visual art. One composition is set in a satirical tone to depict a phenomenon in which teenagers chase parties and become less inhibited from taking drugs. The F# harmonic minor scale music clip starts out with psychedelic music with futuristic sound effects, which symbolize a charm that the sense of mystery brings. However, it ends with suspicious music with heavy dose of stringed music, which symbolizes depression and loss after coming back to reality and leaving the temporary pleasure. The other composition is about the musical and physical representation of the process of adopting cultural diversity and exchanges of multidisciplinary ideas, a cornerstone of university learning. The beauty, texture, and endless possibilities of a singular color shine much brighter when it is mixed with and contrasted against others. The commingling of colors represents acceptance and bonding of cultural and ideological differences.

It is a piece I created for a fictitious Electro Party at night club after composing the music, which can be commercial background music. The neon lighting and drug at night club give me the idea of using nail polish to create those fluorescent effects that seem attractive and desirable; however, they also cause dizziness and vertigo when getting too bright and strong. The movement of the colors also reminds me of those party people dancing.
2-b)
It is a piece I created for a fictitious Music Festival, where people from all over the world get bonded together by music, and everyone travels to enjoy and share diversity. It was also based on a self-composed music clip, which can also serve as commercial background music.
While making and listening to this music clip, C major makes me feel peaceful and healing. Various colors symbolize people from different places, and the water symbolizes the festival and music itself. The commingling of colors represents acceptance and bonding of cultural and ideological differences.
Blow dryer, meet ping pong ball. Now, if only our blow dryer had a no-heat setting.
I always love the blower at the Exploratorium that you can float a beach ball on, but for some reason I hadn't really ever tried it at home. I hope everyone tries this for themselves at some point, it is simply too much fun.

We just discovered Benson's Park/Hudson Dog Park (Formerly Benson's Wild Animal Farm) in Hudson, NH. I understand this park was renovated within the last 2 years. I saw some pics in there flickr group from 1999. Today the are no captive animals. The park has been converted into a beautiful walking park with hiking trails and beautiful scenery. The park is currently being maintained by volunteers and donations. If you live in or near NH and love nature, it is worth the trip!
My 32 lb Underwood typewriter placed a good couple of inches forward of the racks rando loop, so it's hanging off out front. No change in the rack or fender position...
ascend the third highest peak in California and this is the sage advice you will receive .
the University of California operates several research stations in the White Mountains on the eastern border of the state, including this one on top of White Mountain Peak (14,246 ft / 4342 m) . during a recent bike/hike to the peak, we saw a pen of pregnant domestic sheep at 12,400' elevation, used for a study of altitude on birth defect, and met researches checking soil temperature gauges which are part of the worldwide GLORIA network of high elevation climate research sites (www.gloria.ac.at/?a=2)
I wanted to make some good old-fashioned LEGO gore, so I found some red pieces and victim and started this.

I love this vest and just thrifted it a week or two ago. I'm not convinced this is the best outfit for it, but whatever. I just wanted to give it a shot. Hopefully I'll come up with a cuter way to wear it.
Experimented with wire wool.
So much fun.
Next time, will bring lighting to bring out the surroundings better

Bird-Poop series: Congo African Grey Parrot (Psittacus erithacus erithacus) droppings, mixed media.
"I made several works where I lined the cage of my parrot, Pistachio, with canvas or paper, and collected the droppings. I was inspired by process artists, such as Yves Klien, and Vito Acconci, who chose a specific process, and let the process dictate the aesthetic appearance of the artwork. Here, my hand played no direct role in the composition of the poop, except in the small piece where the poop is arranged to resemble the banks of a river. It’s distribution was dictated by where my bird happened to be standing when she pooped. This process, I believe, connects art-making practices with scientific experimentation, since in both, we set up the process or experiment, but its results are completely out of our control. The piece also provides the opportunity for up close study of the composition of the poop, as well as its aesthetic qualities, which one would not generally consider. As scientists often use an organism’s feces to determine its diet, this piece alludes to that process as well. The white uric acid is also emphasized by the tonal qualities of the surface, calling attention to the different mechanisms birds posses for excreting nitrogenous wastes."
