Playtime with junk mail ...

 4 pieces of a mobile phone ad ...

 4 more strips of black junk mail.

 4 more red pieces and a hand drawn face.

 3 pieces of black and white for hair.

 15 scraps of junk mail that won't make it to the landfill.

I like the torn edges and exaggeration. Quirky?

What's your favorite book? This is one of mine.

"You become. It takes a long time. 

That’s why it doesn’t happen often to people who break easily 

or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. 

Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your 

hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and 

you get loose in your joints and very shabby.
But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real 

you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand."
Margery Williams -The Velveteen Rabbit

What's yours?

Welcome rain: photography

Los Angeles surrounds gets some kind of precipitation, 
on average, 34 days per year. Precipitation is rain, 
snow, sleet, or hail that falls to the ground.
Today was one.

Moments of Isolation and Belonging 

Explored in Surreal  Composite Photographs by May Parla

Laura Staugaitis

All images © May Parlar, shared with permission of the artist

Photographer May Parlar punctuates open landscapes 

with colorful elements like masses of balloons and accessories separated from human wearers. Her work reflects on themes of belonging and alienation, Parlar  seeks to “explore the human condition through a feminist perspective.”

To build her fanciful scenes, Parlar explains that she layers frames to build composite images rather than manipulating the content. 

 “I work across different mediums such as photography, film, performance art, sculpture, installation, and landscape art; 

and all of which gets merged in the end and put together 

with a glue that for me is the camera”. 

The artist first was first drawn to photography and filmmaking during her architecture and design schooling in the U.K. Parlar describes herself as a global nomad and is currently based in Berlin. See more of her imaginative images on Instagram, and purchase limited edition prints on Saatchi Art.

Well since you asked, I watched some "little league" on tv,

did another load of laundry, and, I read.

 my new, well recommended, almost finished book,

A lot!

If I read in the living room chair, I don't fall asleep.

I felt like ...

Only 6 hours so far, is that too much?

 

It's 1:15 am and I am an hour away from done!

I stopped to be able to post this #2580 blog.

What's your guess, to bed or to read?

A smile for Monday ...
