In Boulder, Baby
Beck, Max, and I took a trip to Boulder, CO to visit the family. One last summer hurrah! We had a fabulous time in Grammy Em's garden, at the Silly Six birthday party for Beck, Max and Maya, and on the girls' trampoline at Tia Jessica's house. One afternoon we rocked Estes Park with mini-golf and a ginormous slide.
Not Damien Hirst
I came across the most awesome blog yesterday...it's essentially a riff on the famed contemporary artist Damien Hirst. Hirst, known for pushing limits on the age-old question "what is art" is portrayed here in the most fabulous tongue in cheek way.
All "works" are titled with a (faux?) Hirst quote. This one was particularly rich...
"The fear of becoming fat expressed in the joy of being colorful"
"49 peanut M&M's of green, orange, blue, brown, yellow and red color which are sold in a mostly yellow bag on which it also writes that "To avoid suffocation, keep bags away from babies, young children and pets." that I bought at a gas station on my way to the train station where my mother was waiting for me on a white plastic windowsill" on a photograph.
I'm intrigued and sickened by Damien Hirst, and that is why this fake Damien Hirst blog is so amusing to me. Cheers, and yes -- "you got to love art!"
