Equinoxe Appreciation Thread

[Equinoxe]

Im favourably disposed towards humanity today. not sure why. am missing my new partner intensely for the first time ever. dont feel like being with anyone else.

That is an interesting situation, very uncharacteristic of you, as I understand it. Perhaps it is not a bad thing though, perhaps it belies some deeper emotional relationship, I don't know.

dunno...Im not a creature of habit, and like to chnage things for the hell of it.

I do understand. I've considered changing my name before, but somehow I suspect that swapping names would just confuse people.

I dont like that piccie of the woman. it seems trite....over done.

I dont like much modern art. it doesnt require as much skill.

I can understand that, it's certainly very heavy in effect; it has a fantasy quality to it, a certain magickal nature, I suppose.

This is generally true, it is much easier to paint something along the lines of DeKooning or Pollock than it is to paint something along the lines of Raphael, Bouguereau, or Lord Leighton. My preference does generally lie more with the later, but I do enjoy some modern art and some abstract art.

Yes, they are beautiful aren't they. I usually have one of her calendars for work too.

This is one of my faves.

That is a good one; I think one of my favourites is:
Isis and Osiris

Yes that's gorgeous too. I have that on a bookmark!

I really enjoy the mythological themes within her work, but then I've always been interested in mythology.

Yes me too.

Check out this fella - nothing like Boulet, but I love his photography. You might like him too.

Go into the Marsden Archive, then the Picture Library. Lovely stuff.

I must thank the pair of you (Equinoxe and Fata Morgana) for putting me onto a new artist.

Very nice indeed.

You're most welcome.

1. yes and no. Ive been in a 5 yr serious rlshp before and fell to pieces when it disintegrated. I dont want my emotional happiness to be so intertwined/dependant on someone else to that extent again

2. ...lost interest

3. exactly. I dont like the degentrification of art...theres not enough control over it...its too accessible and loses some of its appeal. you can read into modern art whatever you want to..which is a break down in communicaiton

raphael et al....they were better at communicating their ideas with clarity, precision and skill.

sadly lacking in mnay spheres nowadays.

1. I absolutely understand, independence has a definite appeal and losing that, even by choice in a loving context, can be quite painful.

2. Likewise.

3. I know what you mean, there is that element of degentrification in a sense, but there is also a personalisation, perhaps too much so. Although there are certain things which have some constancy without a realistic structure (in theory, colours have a mood attached to them inherently), in a sense modern art can be a bit like glossolalia, it's a language which no one can understand (including sometimes the artist). It often crosses the line in that balance between being individually expressive (expressing what the artist wants to the artist's content) and expressive for the group (expressing to everyone else).

but whats glossolalia? did you make it up?

*snicker*

 

[Equinoxe]

I take your point.

but whats glossolalia? did you make it up?

It's speaking in tongues, or one of the two varieties thereof. There's glossolalia and xenoglossia; glossolalia is speaking a "language" that is no known language (linguists are pretty much in agreement that it's not a language at all, it's just gibberish) and xenoglossia (which I rather suspect has never actually occurred) would be somehow miraculously speaking a language that one doesn't know.

thank you.

You're welcome.

Im going to use that word tommorrow so I dont ever forget what it means


and forevermore....I will associate it with you.


rather unfortunate that it means incoherent drivel....but there ya go...

Haha.

I actually do it all the time, I talk to myself in this nonsense "language" that I have no idea what I'm saying, but I don't have to consciously think about where the sounds are going. I should do it in the company of some rather religious folk, their response would be amusing.

I thought it was one of the better jokes on Lit this week, when you said "what is glossolalia did you make it up?" I hate being wrong.

That would have been a very clever joke.

[Equinoxe]

I looked up gloassolalia and there is no talk of a 'language' per se, at all

it says that its fervent and impassioned speech, which is unintelligible

It's not a language, although it is commonly found in certain Charismatic Christian sects (but also amongst certain tribal religions) and they like to claim that it's some sort of divine language that God is speaking through them.

I rather suspect that it's not.

Im going to do some washing up. oh joy.

and I ate too much toblerone...

Well, if you're going to eat too much, you did choose something good.

Hey, how did I miss this thread? Equinoxe is one of my favourite people on lit. Everything she posts is fantastic and usually thought provoking.

We think alike. I thought of this thread earlier today as well.

 

[isthisdesire]

I haven't seen Equinoxe in a while. have I been posting when she's not around?
