For my part, when I enter most intimately into what I call myself, I always stumble on some particular perception or other, of heat or cold, light or shade, love or hatred, pain or pleasure. I never can catch myself at any time without a perception, and never can observe any thing but the perception. When my perceptions are remov’d for any time, as by sound sleep; so long am I insensible of myself, and may truly be said not to exist. And were all my perceptions remov’d by death, and cou’d I neither think, nor feel, nor see, nor love, nor hate after the dissolution of my body, I shou’d be entirely annihilated, nor do I conceive what is farther requisite to make me a perfect non-entity. If any one upon serious and unprejudic’d reflexion, thinks he has a different notion of himself, I must confess I can reason no longer with him. All I can allow him is, that he may be in the right as well as I, and that we are essentially different in this particular. He may, perhaps, perceive something simple and continu’d, which he calls himself; tho’ I am certain there is no such principle in me... But setting aside some metaphysicians of this kind, I may venture to affirm of the rest of mankind, that they are nothing but a bundle or collection of different perceptions, which succeed each other with an inconceivable rapidity, and are in a perpetual flux and movement.

This poster was created for a FotoFest exhibition titled Mechanical Perception featuring photographic work by Mei-Mei Dillard, Eileen Maxson, Brian Piana, Soody Sharifi and Anderson Wrangle. These artists are also alumni from the University of Houston Photo/Digital Media program hence the lineup for this show. Mechanical Perception exhibition runs from September 5 – October 12, 2008 at the FotoFest Headquarters.
This was one of my first poster outside the usual Nameless Sound or rock music poster; this being one for a local art space. This was also the first poster that I created my new studio space, Box 13 ArtSpace.
The 13" wide by 26" high poster was screenprinted using four colors (variations of red) on French Paper line of papers called Poptone. This particular one is called Cherry.
Desde el fondo de la botella son los lentes que uso, desde el interminable fondo de miles de botellas las cuales cariñosamente envenenaron mi juicio con las mieles de Baco, desde el fondo de la botella mis paredes se convierten en algodón. Ahora estas totalmente vacÃa y lo único que puedo darte a cambio de tu dulzura es la amargura de una lagrima estallando en tu fondo.
Le suricate vit en colonies d'une vingtaine de membres, dans des terriers des plaines d'Afrique australe, au sud du fleuve Orange (Angola, Namibie, Afrique du Sud et sud du Botswana). La gestation dure 11 semaines pour des portées de 2 à 7 petits. Des sentinelles se relayent pour veiller sur le groupe, en se dressant sur les pattes arrière et communiquent par cris pour prévenir des dangers, comme la présence de rapaces.
Pour chercher leur nourriture, les suricates doivent creuser le sol, parfois assez profondément. Ils ont donc la tête dans le sable et ne peuvent localiser les prédateurs. Les sentinelles ont pour rôle de prévenir les autres membres du groupe de la présence de prédateurs par des cris spécifiques1. Des recherches récentes ont montré que les sentinelles étaient des individus du groupe qui n'avaient plus faim.

The meerkat is a small diurnal herpestid (mongoose) weighing on average about 731 grams (1.61 lb) for males and 720 grams (1.6 lb) for females. Its long slender body and limbs give it a body length of 25 to 35 centimetres (9.8 to 14 in) and an added tail length of 17 to 25 centimetres (6.7 to 9.8 in). Its tail is not bushy like all other mongoose species, but is rather long and thin and tapers to a black or reddish colored pointed tip. The meerkat uses its tail to balance when standing upright. Its face tapers, coming to a point at the nose, which is brown. The eyes always have black patches around them and it has small black crescent-shaped ears that can close to exclude soil when digging. Like cats, meerkats have binocular vision, a large peripheral range, depth perception, and eyes on the front of their faces.
Perceptions is all about the way we see things. We make split-second decisions based on what we believe we see, this may not always be what is going on but it is what we perceive.
This photo was taken (around a year ago; 20/01/2011) on top of the Signal Mountains in Mauritius.
What i tried to capture (and managed) was, the colours Red (chemical container) Blue (Sky) Yellow (chemical container) and Green (Grass). These are the four colours which feature on the national flag of Mauritius. That's one perception. The second one being, Pollution in Mauritius. How the hell and why did a chemical container end up on a mountain? This is my perception.

It's such a hot day. Can you turn the air on?
I would, Edna, but it's not working .
Not working? Well then have someone come fix it!
I would, but. . .
But what, Wtanley? I need air conditioning!
Well, you have to close the windows first, and. . .
I know that! Don't you think I know that?
Well, I'm just saying. That might not be possible.
And why not?
It's the window glass. I mean, the absence thereof. . .
Men! It's always something with you!
Yes, dear. I know.
Today I had the pleasure of running into my old friend Sue. Sue founded and directed The Troupe, Michigan Tech's improv group, for many years. In that role, she was an amazing mentor and friend. Now that she's retired, she (among other things) creates beautiful felted works of art -- including this one, which recently won the jury's first place award at the Great Lake Showcase. Its name is "Perceptions", and everything you see is felted wool.
