Joseph Cornell - collage boxes

oh, my heart! it flutters!
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

I have a couple of pop-out collages at home. one of them is a Cinderella scene and I have it in my room. It’s so pretty .My mumma bought them for me when I was younger because I was obsessed with fairy tales. Maybe a little more so than the average girl. I wish I knew who the artist was. They aren’t signed and my mum can’t remember where she got them :(

They’ve inspired me to do something similar. While I was looking up some other artists i came across Joseph Cornell’s boxes. They’re so lovely ♥

tumblr renovation!

I decided to change the look of my tumblr a little… and me thinks it looks much better now.
I also renamed it Pistachio Mouse. after my deceased mouse Pistachio. He was in my dream the other night. He was my favourite.

(this isn’t Pistachio. I couldn’t find a photo of him ☹   )

I love mice.

I'm just a sweet transvestite, from Transsexual Transylvania.

so i went book shopping for some collage material and i found a couple of books.

i scored a daily mail annual for boys and girls dated xmas 1947.
all of the crosswords are filled in and it smells of dust . i love it. it has some amazing photos and illustrations in it too.

and i cant seem to find the courage to bring my scalpel to the pages.
whats a girl to do?

waiting for godot - sydney opera house

somehow Beckett’s play ‘Waiting For Godot’ is being performed at the Syd opera house and I did not know about it until now. and its only showing for like another 2 weeks
my first reaction was to make a very high pitched squealing sound.
and then i thought i might pee my pants.
and then i checked ticket prices.
and then i said “What the fuck?!”
and then i tweeted about it.

 devastated i wont get to see it. the set looks amazing. and the costumes are great too.

vladimir , estragon, lucky and pozzo i will be there in spirit!


Given the existence, as uttered forth in the public works of Puncher and Wattmann,
of a personal God quaquaquaqua,
with white beard quaquaquaqua,
outside time, without extension,
who, from the heights of divine apathia, divine athambia, divine aphasia,
loves us dearly with some exceptions, for reasons unknown but time will tell,
and suffers like the divine Miranda
with those who, for reasons unknown but time will tell,
are plunged in torment, plunged in fire,
whose fire flames, if that continues and who can doubt it,
will fire the firmament - that is to say blast hell to heaven so blue still and calm
so calm with a calm, which even though intermittent is better than nothing, but not so fast.

I should be sleeping.

I haven’t done much this week in the way of art. The october exhibition is so soon and im starting to freak out. I know EXACTLY what I want to do. its just a matter of $$ now.

This is not what I plan to exhibit. But its the only thing i’ve produced this week that i’d be wiling to show anyone.

image


my messy bedroom floor.
fixative and paper cut outs and ripped up books and magazines and my snow white eraser that ive had since i was 16 haha. glue and my pencil case full of shavings.

image


im so angry at this img. i flipped it and saved it like 400 times but when i open it its mirrored again.

RAGE.

anyway that’s my collage i made this week. i like saturdays, tv, motorbikes and boys? i dunno. i really just made it mindlessly. i’m being silly now.

image


this is something i made a few weeks ago actually. its just a guy who enjoys karaoke and wears a spinning bow tie. i named him Freddie. we’re in love.

RauschenBABE

I love reading about Rauschenberg. He was such an amazing artist. I think I’d even go as far as to say he’s my favourite artist.

I was just reading about his work ‘Erased De Kooning’ .(there’s a good little article HERE check out the PDF)

I hope someday someone will want to erase one of my drawings.
