Ok so I’m going to Burma, Vietnam and Cambodia on Dec 6 for a while. Has anyone been there? Can you offer any advice on where to go and what to do?
I’m going to ride my bike around Burma and then around Vietnam. I’ll prolly leave the bike behind for Cambodia. Thoughts?
A pic of me and muffin on Chicken’s bus driving out of New York on our first voyage to the Mississippi.
This kid named “giggles” asked about the piece here thinking i might know something about it because i like art and antlers. He said:
i’m working on an english paper to evaluate a piece of art. The painting is from Michael McConnell, and it has a woman with antlers on her head. I wanted to know what that meant in the art world. When I typed in antlers art this website came up twice. When I found antler girls artist statement for this site, she said she love a lot of the nice things in NY and her antlers. I was hoping antlers in art expression meant the same to you all as it does to this painter. Most of my evaluation so far as been wrong about the painting. The painting is called What I’m Capable Of. I thought it was a playful fun picture because the woman has on the antlers. One of our writing center people said it was anything but a fun picture. Please help me figure it out. Thanks Giggles
Interesting question. I don’t think there’s much continuity between people who use antlers in their art, and I have my own explanation which almost certainly differs from that of the painting.
I think on face value that the woman in the painting is bleeding the drippy bloody green mess from her heart and her feet are ground into the place where they stand indicating that she is stuck. I wonder if the title tells us soemthing about the restraint shown in the picture as well. Just a thought. Good luck Giggles!
