1/3 butterflies that I bought in Rome, wanted to use them in photography for so long.
Today it just happened. I felt inspiration, will, joy and the need to photograph. I got in that mode where time and hunger etc. no longer exists, you just snap photo after photo after photo.. love it.
Hope you do too!

I found many of these shells in our yard underneath a dead plant. I am assuming they are from snails, but don't know for sure. I was amazed at the number of them all in one place and the fact that all but one were in perfect condition; i.e., they were not "broken." However, the one that struck me as most beautiful was the imperfect one--the one that was broken. It allowed me to see the spiraling structure inside.
This week's theme for Macro Mondays is "Imperfection" and I wanted to do something that would incorporate the philosophy of "wabi sabi" which is the Japanese concept of aesthetics stating that beauty is found in things that are "imperfect, impermanent and incomplete." There is a wonderful book on the subject: Wabi-Sabi: for Artists, Designers, Poets & Philosophers by Leonard Koren. I highly recommend it.

Eröffnung: 10. September 2010, 18:00 - 21:00 Uhr, Heidestrasse 46, 10557 Berlin (10. September - 13. November 2010)
Haunch of Venison präsentiert Yoko Ono mit der grundlegend neuen Installation ‚Das Gift‘ vom 10. September bis zum 13. November 2010 in Berlin.
Yoko Ono gilt als Pionierin der Konzeptkunst. ‚Das Gift‘ besteht aus Filmen, Tonaufnahmen, Skulpturen und partizipativen Elementen und wurde eigens für die Ausstellung bei ‚Haunch of Venison‘ konzipiert.
Ono begann in den 1950er Jahren sich mit Konzeptkunst und partizipativer Kunst auseinander zu setzen. Ihre konzeptuelle Arbeit Grapefruit, eine Ideensammlung für Performances in Buchform, die 1964 entstand, liegt der Ausstellung in Berlin zugrunde. Ono behandelt die Themen Gewalt, Heilung, Veränderung oder Liebe mit sehr unterschiedlichen Mitteln und hinterfragt die Dichotomie von Persönlichem und Globalem.
Die Arbeit ‚A Hole‘, eine zugleich fragile, aber auch brutal anmutende Skulptur, welche einen Schwerpunkt in der Ausstellung bildet, besteht aus einer Glasfront, in deren Mitte ein sternförmiges Einschussloch prangt. Ins Glas eingraviert ist eine Aufforderung: „Gehen Sie auf die andere Seite der Glasscheibe und blicken Sie durch das Loch.“ Onos Anweisung fordert auf, beide Perspektiven, die des Aggressors sowie die des Opfers, einzunehmen, und somit zwei entgegengesetzte Standpunkte zu beziehen.
Yoko Ono sagt zu ihrer Ausstellung: „Ich will auf die Gewalt hinweisen, die überall in der Welt passiert. Ich bitte die Menschen, die in die Ausstellung kommen, ein Zeugnis einer persönlichen Gewalterfahrung mitzubringen, beispielsweise ein Foto oder einen Text, die an der Wand angebracht werden sollen. Im Obergeschoss der Galerie wird es hingegen einen Raum geben, in dem man einfach lächeln soll.“ Das Lächeln der Besucher wird auf Video aufgenommen und im Ausstellungsraum projiziert.
Yoko Ono wurde 1933 in Tokio geboren. Sie wuchs in Japan und New York auf und besuchte das Sarah Lawrence College. Ono gilt als eine der bedeutendsten Vertreterinnen der Fluxus-Bewegung der 1960er Jahre. In ihrer Arbeit konzentriert sie sich hauptsächlich auf Performance und Konzeptkunst, wie auch experimentellen Film und Musik. Zu ihren wichtigsten Arbeiten werden die Konzeptarbeit Cut Piece und ihr Buch Grapefruit gezählt (beide 1964). - Ono lebt und arbeitet in New York.

THE POISON - Yoko Ono Exhibition, Berlin 2010
Opening: September 10, 2010, 6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m., Heidestrasse 46, 10557 Berlin (September 10 - November 13, 2010)
Haunch of Venison presents Yoko Ono with the fundamentally new installation 'The Gift' from September 10th to November 13th, 2010 in Berlin.
Yoko Ono is considered a pioneer of conceptual art. 'The Gift' consists of films, sound recordings, sculptures and participatory elements and was conceived specifically for the exhibition at 'Haunch of Venison'.
Ono began to engage with conceptual art and participatory art in the 1950s. The exhibition in Berlin is based on her conceptual work Grapefruit, a collection of ideas for performances in book form, which was created in 1964. Ono deals with the themes of violence, healing, change and love using very different means and questions the dichotomy of the personal and the global.
The work 'A Hole', a fragile yet brutal-seeming sculpture that forms a focal point of the exhibition, consists of a glass front with a star-shaped bullet hole in the middle. Engraved into the glass is an instruction: “Go to the other side of the glass pane and look through the hole.” Ono's instruction calls for you to take on both perspectives, that of the aggressor and that of the victim, and thus take two opposite points of view.
Yoko Ono says of her exhibition: “I want to point out the violence that is happening all over the world. I ask people who come to the exhibition to bring with them a testimony of a personal experience of violence, for example a photo or a text, to be hung on the wall. On the upper floor of the gallery, however, there will be a room where you can simply smile.” The visitors' smiles will be recorded on video and projected in the exhibition room.
Yoko Ono was born in Tokyo in 1933. She grew up in Japan and New York and attended Sarah Lawrence College. Ono is considered one of the most important representatives of the Fluxus movement of the 1960s. Her work focuses primarily on performance and conceptual art, as well as experimental film and music. Her most important works include the conceptual work Cut Piece and her book Grapefruit (both 1964). - Ono lives and works in New York.
Haunch Of Venison
Since its founding in London in 2002, the Haunch of Venison gallery has presented a broad and critically acclaimed exhibition program with some outstanding representatives of contemporary art in London, Berlin and New York. The Berlin branch was opened in September 2007.

***** Erste Etage / First Floor *****
HELME (STÜCKE VOM HIMMEL) / HELMETS (PIECES OF SKY)
Alte deutsche Helme aus den letzten Kriegen sind hier und bilden einen eigenen seltsamen Wald mit STÜCKE VOM HIMMEL in jedem von ihnen. - Nimm ein Stück Himmel mit nach Hause.
Old German helmets from the last wars are here, creating a strange forest of their own, with PIECES OF SKY in each one of them. - Take home a piece of sky.
SCHATTEN / SHADOWS
Drei Realitätsebenen werden gleichzeitig gezeigt, indem sie sich gegenseitig überlagern und zu einer Realität werden. Die erste Ebene ist das, was in der Welt geschieht. Die zweite Schicht sind die Menschen, die Schatten sind. Die dritte Schicht bist DU, der steht, geht und die beiden Schichten beobachtet und Teil dieser Realität wird.
Three layers of reality are being shown simultaneously, by overlapping each other and becoming one reality. The first layer is what is happening in the world. The second layer is people who are shadows. The third layer is YOU, standing, walking and observing the two layers and becoming part of this reality.
HEIL / HEAL
Eine große Leinwand mit Rissen und Schnitten auf der Leinwand. Sie sind eingeladen, sich am Flicken der Risse und Schnitte zu beteiligen. Denken Sie daran, dass Sie sich selbst und die Welt flicken, während Sie sie flicken.
A large canvas with rips and cuts in the canvas. You are invited to take part in the mending the rips and cuts. Think that you are mending yourself and the world, as you mend.
EIN LOCH / A HOLE
Es ist ein Werk, bei dem man zweimal die Position wechseln muss, um es zu betrachten. Einmal von vorne, um sich selbst als Schütze zu sehen. Einmal von hinten, um sich selbst als denjenigen zu sehen, auf den geschossen wird.
It is a work which asks you to change your position twice to observe it. Once from the front to see yourself as the shooter. Once from the back to see yourself as the one being shot.
MANTEL / COATS
Ganz am Ende des Raumes hängen sieben Mäntel in einer Reihe, die alle den Personen gehören, die sie trugen, als sie aus nächster Nähe erschossen wurden. Gehen Sie durch die sieben Mäntel, um Ihren Schatten mit dem der anderen zu vermischen.
Seven coats hang at the very end of the room in a row, all belonging to people who were wearing the coats when they were shot point blank from close range. Walk through the seven coats to mix your shadows with theirs.
DER SCHREI / SCREAM
Ein Schrei durchschneidet den riesigen Raum, der mit Gewalt aus allen Ecken der Welt gefüllt ist. Es ist die Stimme der Seevögel namens Kittiwakes aus Gateshead in England. Die Geräusche der Kittiwakes sollen der Klang der "Seelen der verlorenen Kinder" sein. Dann hört man die Krähen und Zikaden aus Tokio zusammen schreien.
A scream cuts through the huge room filled with violence from all corners of the world. It’s a voice of the sea birds called Kittiwakes from Gateshead in England. The sounds of Kittiwakes are said to be the sound of the “The Souls of Lost Children.” Then you hear the crows and cicadas from Tokyo screaming together.
TAUSENDFÜSSLER / CENTIPEDES
Als Sie aufschauen, um den SCHREI zu hören, bemerken Sie riesige Tausendfüßler, die an der Wand krabbeln, und die Tatsache, dass die Größe aller Ereignisse im Raum im Verhältnis zu den Tausendfüßlern verschwindend gering ist. - Da wird Ihnen klar, dass der Raum, den Sie für die Weltkarte hielten, nur ein dunkles KELLERGESCHOSS DES TAUSENDFÜSSLERS war.
As you look up to listen to the SCREAM, you notice huge centipedes crawling on the wall, and the fact that the sizes of all happenings in the room are infintessimal in proportion to the centipedes. - You realize then that the room which you thought of as the Map of the World was only a darkish BASEMENT OF CENTIPEDES.
PASSAGEN FÜR LICHT / THE PASSAGE FOR LIGHT
Ganz am Ende des ersten Stocks gibt es einen kleinen Raum mit dem Titel PASSAGEN FÜR LICHT, der aus drei Veranstaltungen besteht.
There is a small room at the very end of the first floor called THE PASSAGE FOR LIGHT consisting of three events.
Das erste Werk trägt den Titel: / The first work is titled:
ERINNERTE GEWALT / MEMORY OF VIOLENCE
Neun Leinwände mit Stadtplänen von Berlin sind an der Wand zu sehen. Es sind Leinwände mit Stadtplänen von Berlin aus verschiedenen Epochen, der erste stammt aus dem Jahr 1890. - Sie werden gebeten, Ihre persönlichen Erinnerungen an Gewalt mitzubringen, wenn Sie DAS GIFT betreten.
Sie können sich an GEDENKEN DER GEWALT beteiligen, indem Sie ein Foto, einen Brief und/oder etwas Geschriebenes mitbringen und es an die Leinwände in der Zeit und an dem Ort in den Karten anheften, wo es Ihrer Meinung nach hingehört - vielleicht an einem Ort, an dem Sie einst gelebt haben, an dem Ihre Familie einst lebte oder an dem Sie eine besondere Erinnerung haben, die Sie mit uns teilen möchten. Da immer mehr Erinnerungen an Gewalt zu den Leinwänden hinzugefügt werden, ist es möglich, dass Ihre Erinnerung von den Erinnerungen anderer überdeckt wird.
Nine canvasses of maps of Berlin are on the wall. They are canvases of street maps of Berlin from different periods, the first one being from 1890. - You are asked to bring your personal memories of violence when you enter DAS GIFT.
You can participate in MEMORY OF VIOLENCE by bringing a photograph, a letter, and/or something you have written, and pinning them onto the canvases in the period and the place in the maps you feel they belong – perhaps in a location where you once lived, or where your family once lived, or where you have a particular memory you wish to share with us. As more and more memories of violence are added to the canvases, it’s possible that your memory may be covered by memories of others.
Das zweite Werk von DIE PASSAGE FÜR LICHT ist
The second work in THE PASSAGE FOR LIGHT is
SAMEN / SEEDS
Auf dem Boden dieses Raumes DIE PASSAGE FÜR LICHT liegen Mullkugeln mit Grapefruitkernen darin. - Sie sind eingeladen, immer mehr Gaze um diese Kerne zu wickeln, bis die Kugeln so groß werden, dass sie nicht mehr aus dem Raum herauskommen.
Balls made of gauze with grapefruit seeds in them are on the floor of this room THE PASSAGE FOR LIGHT. - You are invited to continue to wrap more gauze around these seeds until the balls become so large that they cannot get out of the room.
Das dritte Werk von THE PASSAGE FOR LIGHT ist
The third work in THE PASSAGE FOR LIGHT is
ZERSCHLAGENES KRISTALL / SHATTERED GLASS
Fegen Sie den Raum mit einem Besen.
Sweep the room with a broom.
***** Zweite Etage / Second Floor *****
Der letzte Raum der Ausstellung, der sich direkt über dem GEDÄCHTNIS DER GEWALT befindet, ist…
The last room in the show, which is a room right above the MEMORY OF VIOLENCE, is…
BERLINER LÄCHELN / BERLIN SMILE
Setzen Sie sich auf den dafür vorgesehenen Stuhl vor die Kamera und schenken Sie der Welt Ihr Lächeln aus Berlin. Ihr Lächeln wird sich zu anderen Lächeln aus anderen Städten und Ländern gesellen, indem es ins Internet gestellt und in meinem Archiv aufbewahrt wird, damit es bei jeder Gelegenheit gezeigt werden kann. Es ist eine Petition für den Frieden.
Sit on the designated chair in front of the camera, and give your smile to the world from Berlin. Your smile will join other smiles from other cities and countries, by being sent out on the internet, and being also preserved in my archive to be shown whenever there is a chance. It is a petition for peace.
Handle with care, don't be rough
Don't break my heart because I'm not tough
Be gentle, and be kind
Clear your thoughts, get a peace of mind
Watch over me and be take care
And I'll try to handle all I can bear
Even when you're gone keep an eye over me
So safe I will always be
But until that day protect me while
I lay here quietly, so fragile
Love is in the air...
Happy February everyone!
Wishing you all a great valentines month!

Novamente com uma edição fresca D:
Dessa vez escolhi a Kerli Kõiv

talvez porque ela pareça lolita ou

Não percam seu tempo com essa

Acabou.
Espero que gostem ^^
VEJAM EM TAMANHO MAIOR
Fragile things
dreams are
clinging
to the outskirts of the mind
so easily torn away
by the harshness of many realities
I sometimes wake
with visions of you
still clinging to me
barely hovering
and I am caught
in an inbetween
Not awake
Not asleep...
So forget your past, and we can dream tomorrow
So don't let your past destroy what comes tomorrow
Don't go and break my fragile heart
www.youtube.com/watch?v=3q4ZU7oV3aM
A fragile heart was broken before
I don't think it could endure another pain
But there's a voice from deep inside of you
That's calling out to make you realize
That this new bond gives inspiration
To all who feel no love appeal no more
So how can I break this wall around you
That's aiding both our hearts to grow in pain
So forget your past, and we can dream tomorrow
Save our hearts for care and lovin too
It's hard I know, but oh
One thing for sure
Don't go and break this fragile heart
A hurting mind in need of emotion
I don't think I could endure another pain
But baby in you, I've found affection
Affection I have never felt before
So don't let your past destroy what comes tomorrow
Don't go and break my fragile heart
With all this fire that burns between us
There's so much to lose
Yet so much more to gain
And if I could, choose the world around me
The world I'd choose would all revolve around you
So help me complete the game inside me
And help to mend my fragile heart

FRAGILE FORKTAIL DAMSELFLY-07210911-.jpg
Couldn't think of what to name this for awhile; then it just came to me
Fragile, because of the hearts appearance, the paints coming off, therefore making it look damaged.
Heart, that's pretty obvious.
Background texture is ice from my backyard.
Such subtle colour, that this one actually became a bit more nostalgic and romantic in black and white.
she shines
in a world full of ugliness
she matters
when everything is meaningless
fragile
she doesn't see her beauty
she tries to get away
sometimes
it's just that nothing seems worth saving
i can't watch her slip away
i won't let you fall apart
she reads the minds of all the people as the pass her by
hoping someone can see
if i could fix myself i'd -
but it's too late for me
i won't let you fall apart
we'll find the perfect place to go where we can run and hide
i'll build a wall and we can keep them on the other side
...but they keep waiting
...and picking...
it's something i have to do
i was there, too
before everything else
i was like you
The word "fragile" has been on my mind lately. I have always thought of the mind being very strong, but watching my mother struggle with dementia makes me realize how fragile the mind can be. These worn/fragile items were pulled out to paint because they are, indeed, fragile and in need of a little extra care. We all do from time to time, don't we?
The cloth has seen better days, bristles are falling out of the brush, splint weavers are brittle and broken - but I love them still, perhaps because they have weathered the storms. The basket was made by my grandfather's brother, Otto, and was given to my grandmother, Emma, to use as her egg gathering basket.
It is one of those paintings I got lost in, losing track of time while working and just enjoying giving these simple objects my full attention.
