Sol Lewitt

Hey, sorry for being such a bad blogger recently. i have just had so much work, and frankly nothing really to put up here. i we went to Massachusetts this weekend to go to Mass MoCA with my sister, and we saw this awesome Sol Lewitt exhibit, he was an artist who was really interested in geometric shapes and patterns, but still really wanted to be an artist despite the fact that he wasn't really good at the abstract part of artistry. so he did these huge wall installations of patterns and colors.
there were three floors in the museum, and they showcased his early, middle, and late work. you can see him getting more confident with color
i had many more pictures of this, it was so amazing.


This is just experimentation with different types of lines


drilled holes in the wall with bits of rolled up paper in them, this covered three walls, it was unbelievable to see in person.




this was my favorite of the exhibit, the pattern is the same in color on one side and different grays on the other side.







so afterwards, me and my sister found this amazing store calls where'd you get that? gifts for the curious. and what we found was amazing old toys that we thought were out of production like...CALICO CRITTERS!!! they are so cute, and i wanted to put a picture up, but my computer is being a butt, when we lived in London we had them and they are so adorable. in this amazing store we also found a doll called...wait for it...flatsy, she was a completely flat doll...because that will help girls with their body issues. so if you're ever in Williams town, check out that store.

more later

two more days

hi, everyone. i officially have two days left until i start school and, besides the homework, I'm actually kind of looking foreword to being with my friends again.

I didn't take any new pictures today because I've been in the house all day, but i have some of my postcard wall (i go to summer camp and i put the favorite postcards i get up on my wall because it was so blank before). and some other random ones i have.

my favorite is the one of the owl.


I just got these glasses from Forever 21, i don't actually wear glasses but these were really cool. I wore them around the city and got some really weird looks.



And this is a view of the lake at my camp.


I am once again delaying my work, so i will go read about the American Revolution...more later

hey, I know this is two posts in one day, but I'm trying to do anything but finish but summer homework right now even though I have a load left and like three days left to finish...but whatever, not the point.

so, me and my mom went to wave hill today (it's like a small version of the Botanical Gardens) and i took a bunch of pictures of the pretty flowers there.



There were also some fish in this pond that were too
sneaky for me to get a picture of




...and some really cute kids that were there


they were also setting up for a wedding when we were there, that would be so gorgeous to have your wedding there...though it was a little chilly today so she might have been cold.

well now i actually do have to get back to work. more later.

hello

I have recently been inspired by the move Julie and Julia, as well as the amazing blog Sea of Shoes, to create a blog that people will probably not read, but it will be there none the less.

I'm going to put up random ass pictures that i just took, already too, and going to take in the future, and just kinda have them there. because how sick would it be if some like important photography person came along and liked them....ahaha, yeah right, but we can dream right?

anyway, even if no one reads this at all, it will still be something that i did out there on the internet. so enjoy.

xx, emma
