So productive.

I updated my user info, polished nails read The Tell-Tale Heart and texted friend for her birthday. I'm so lazy it scares me. That story always makes my blood run cold; I keep imagining the old man shivering in the dark, knowing something embodying all his fears was in the room with him.

We just had a mini storm with an innordinate amount of thunder. Surprisingly, the rain poured down afterward; it rarely rains heavily here when the thunder shows off. It made me restless and this is bad because I need to work on some notes for a meeting on Tuesday. The thunder's still rattling around and poor Azzurri is camped under the bed.

I was going through my old files the other day and I found some images of Alice Aycock's and Judy Chicago's work.

The Dinner Party by Judy Chicago.

Some pics of the individual settings

Virginia Woolf's place.

Sojourner Truth's.

Oooooooohwow, very cool.

You're not nearly as lazy as you could be sweetie. *huggles and couchpotates with you*

Sculpture is love!

* Huggles * I'm getting lazier by the day! I'm taking breaks in between nuking noodles for dinner.

Yes! Alice Aycock is one of my favourite artists, I was blown away the first time I saw any of her work.

The first one is amazing. How large is it, do you know?

I'm not certain of the dimensions but I believe it was built so that the women mentioned could "realistically" sit round it. I have some links to more of their work that I can post later on.

it was really incredible, the scale is so huge but the attention to detail was amazing.

i didn't know Alice Aycock, thanks for posting, her work is really interesting

I'd love to see it up close, even in slides and photos it takes my breath away.

She is amazing!
