Response to Jackson Pollock’s Autumn Rhythm (Number 30)
Splatters of color on a flat canvas
Dripped
Dropped
Flung
Chance and Intention
Entwined
Strokes of
Creation
Blunt marks
Interrupting thin veins
Flowing like rivers
pooling
Everything touches
Everything matters
Everything is unwhole
Without the whole
Carefully constructed
Delicately Balanced
Meticulous Chaos

Remediation of the Balcony Scene from Romeo and Juliet, WWE style...
We had a few hours to decide on a plan and film...another small chunk of time to edit...
One of the big lessons we learned is that we do not like the editing software on Mac.

I don’t know what to write about this picture.
It was a wedding.
Not ours.
We look good.
Really good.
It is rare that a picture of any of us turns out this good.
Andrew has a habit of making weird faces in pictures on purpose.
Ender does too. But he’s a toddler so I guess he gets a pass…
I rarely like the way I look in photos
Probably because my mom is the same way
But
No one has food on their shirts.
No one has drool coating their pants.
We look happy.
Dinner was good.
Ender grabbed a potato and ate it like an apple
He later found the large speaker by the DJ booth and bounced up and down in front of it for the majority of the evening.
Grandma tried to pull him over to dance with some girls but he preferred to be a solo act
We were all exhausted by the time we returned to our room
We put Ender between us in the bed and patiently explained that it was sleepy time
Ender patiently explained that it was actually time to hug mom and dad
he would sit up and lay his head on Andrew’s chest
then come over to me and do the same
Ender’s alternating hugs were very cute
until they continued
and continued
and continued
…

We tried asking nicely.
He smiled.
We tried being firm.
He fussed.
We tried bribing.
He poured out his animal crackers in the bed.
It was a long night.
And
As is the way with toddlers
Ender still woke up at 5:45am
Climbed out of bed
And began going through my purse
It’s a good thing that picture was taken before that night
We did not look so good the next morning
