made a profile on fetlife. found some familiar faces on there, but didn't want to scare them yet with the: "I know you.. you live in my city and I see you regularly"message, but it did make me giggle.
 
Kitten playing "hunt the mouse pointer".

And then a disastrously mistimed episode of "ambush the ankle". She hides behind stuff and pounces as I go past, but this time she leapt waaaay too early and small cat went hurtling past me and nearly down the stairs.
 
Checking out an exhibition by Lionel Smit, a South African up-and-coming painter and sculptor. The exhibition was called Faces, and that's what it was about. Faces.

I loved his sculptures, they were so amazingly layered and some of them so like paintings, with the layers looking almost like the stokes of a palette knife and the Jackson Pollock-esque splashes of paint on top of the paintings creating yet another layer.

And his paintings. So stripped down of everything that outwardly forms identity. The faces fading into the background, the layers of paint hiding and revealing things. And very beautiful people! The people in his paintings and sculptures were almost disturbingly beautiful.

OMG. It was so good! It evoked so many thoughts and ideas about identity. I'm really happy I went.

I googled him, and you are right!. Such beautiful work!
Art dares You, you describe it with such passion, it makes me smile too :rose:


*I conquered another horde today in my search for answers to find my sexual self.
It made me realize I enjoy this journey so much and it makes me very,very happy all around.:D

Art really does make me happy. This and the Yayoi Kusama exhibition I went to a while back both really struck a chord. This one on a far deeper level, though.

I seem to be having an obsession for things and people fading into the background and morphing into other things lately.


Finding what and who you are sexually is indeed a joyful journey. :)
 
For the last few days I've been keeping a notebook handy to record all the times that I make someone laugh. So far, every entry has been about politics. I guess you could say that humor is my current defense against the dark arts.
 
30 minutes on the bike and an entire flight of stairs with almost no anterior knee pain.
