Response to Tim Hawkinson's Work

http://www.pbs.org/art21/artists/hawkinson/index.html

I had never heard of Tim Hawkinson before, and I must say, he is a pretty interesting character. I really enjoyed his concept of the "Emoter. It was a really odd looking piece, but it had a lot of neat ideas behind it. I also really liked how i"ncredibly large and crisp the features were, while still being outrageously abstract. His "Drip" work was my favorite. I really like the idea of incorporating natural sounds with technology. Something as simple as rain dripping from a roof turned into a symphony. It was pretty cool. I liked the way the drips sounded on the pie tins (or what I am assuming were pie tins at least). I always love when an artist takes nature and industrializes it. I like Hawkinson's abstractions. They are quite agreeable. I would love to see them in real life.

My First

Well, I had to create this little blog for my Fundamentals of Design and Color class. I have been meaning to make one, but I suppose that the class gave me more motivation to do so. I'm not really sure what to post, so I will post a poem that I wrote and a picture that I took. . .

Hey there Mary,

What's it like in Hell?
Are your ghosts and your demons

Treating you well?

Are the sins of your past

Coming up from the deep?

Have the eyes in your head

Finally started to weep?

Do you still sit soundly

Repenting your soul?

Reaching your heaven,

Your earthly goal.

Do you still pray to God

Before you rest your head?

As you did every night

Before you were dead.

Where is your God now?

Has he left you behind?

Or is he hiding away

For no one to find?

So, tell me Mary,

What's it like in Hell?

Please tell me your faith

Is still treating you well.

Subconcious, Unconcious

The path to your soul.

One part of the fraction

To your two part whole.
