Trump Caves on Intel Chief—but His New Pick Is Just as Bad

Donald Trump’s new choice is just as unqualified as the last one.

Clayton has passed countless litmus tests proving his loyalty to the MAGA movement. He has seeded doubt in America’s election integrity, claiming as recently as Monday that there is a “deep problem with voting in America.”

CCS Work - Caravaggio Abstraction

I wouldn’t usually post anything to do with the CCS work book that I keep but I was very pleased with this abstraction I did of Caravaggio’s painting “Supper at Emmaus”.

I have always enjoyed picking apart the underlying geometry of classical paintings, though my interpretations may not be totally accurate it does highlight to me the triangulation of eye paths artists use to generate an intended experience for the spectator. 

Here I show some of the underlying geometry, the original image, a collage of cut outs of that geometry and finally my digitally created kaleidoscopic deconstruction of the original painting.

This could be an interesting way to produce work in the future.

What I tend to write

I love it when you wake up with the urge to write something down. An idea you had pre-slumber or novel notion inspired by a dream. I never write down my dreams though, I have an uncanny ability to remember them with ease. An ability which I hope continues.

Pre-bedfordshire, I was looking through some old work. Despite most of it being horrific (in that 'did I really write that drivel' sort of way), there was a common theme running throughout - a theme I hadn't noticed before.  I literalise cliche and myths. In almost every piece of my work I turn overused phrases into real-life scenarios. Sometimes the whole setting and world of my piece is changed, sometimes it is only one small scene. My characters walk down memory lane, they have their hearts sewn onto their sleeves and they do talk to walls. I create worlds in which characters faces change forever when the wind alters course. So that no one is recognized and relationships are tested, questioned and rebuilt on a daily basis.

I have no idea why I write like this.  I had no idea that I was writing like this. Do I want to carry on writing like this?
