So....art

Well before you read this, if you have time, have a look at this.

So the documentary is pretty interesting, for a couple reasons. Number one being the age difference. Two being the crazy Irish girl with masses of freckle and an addiction to theft! If you aren't as an effective procrastinator as me then you probably didn't finish the video, but seriously she is crazy. Not including being speckled with paint most of the time (is it wrong that it looks kinda hot),but also the fact that her end of year project was a stolen plant and the series of emails between her and the artist she stole the plant from!

So the end of the episode was there end of year thing where either someone bought there work and they were hired, or their work was thrown into a large skip. As you guys may know I'm a bit of a science freak. I'm hoping to do chemistry and have a degree that can put me in a lot of jobs for a further life time of work with no reasonable end in sight. I guess this attitude is why I don't understand art beyond panorama's. Most of my social life has felt like a constant guessing game. It still is in a lot of parts if I'm honest. I guess its why I like artist who paint whats there, i vaguely remember that guy who painted melting clocks and although that's not quite realism, it was the detail that i liked, nothing in the painting was just strange shapes. Everything had detail.

Its why I like science and maths especially, every makes sense, and everything can be explained by basic principles and you end up with a truly clear picture. But with people, no one can afford to be completely honest because either they don't feel they can, or they spent so much time behind a mask that they start to believe in that mask. Or maybe its just a fear that if they are completely honest, even if it opens up "exciting opportunities" then that just introduces new situations they are completely unfamiliar with and what fucking then I ask. Well they fuck it all up that's what.

Right, i have decided, I am too fucking pessimistic, but words are cheap and actions are tough.
