i was thinking about this photo i took yesterday, and a translation system, the difficulty of mediation, of words having to describe or flesh out smells (or colors or forms for that matter, i'm reminded of the movie artemisia, where her teacher says, "we say too much in front of paintings")
so i decided to use the photo as a map for today's perfume
mostly citruses, a touch of floral, and vetiver
and i loved the thought of a visual being a prayer too, a memory or a hope, and so i like the idea of that picture being the name, being the prayer, and taking the place of the words, knowing it doesn't always have to be this linguistic thing we partake in
i also love playing with scent and taste, so i tried a cantaloupe/chai popsicle and it was really wonderful in conjunction with the scent
after my performances i'm trying to make it through as many galleries during my off-times as i can take in one day, and went to a few today
i was struck by a show at the pace, titled social media, and penelope umbrio's work (she also uses craigslist, as i've done for a couple of other shows) and found a bunch of people having posted their tv for sale, and the reflections are very explicit!
one show i used craigslist for is coming up in reading, pa through billboard art projects:
saturday, october 22, 2011 from 12 a.m. to 11:59 p.m.
location: route 222 and kutztown rd temple, pa 19560. See map
i found listings for people using their sense of smell in some fashion in their posting
i took their personal-screen digital declaration (most were in the personals), and am making it all the more public on the large-screen digital billboard:
