what are these footsteps?

 hurry

hurry

hurry

           in snow

these steps static for a moment,

then erased.

 I am

stretching my neck again

backwards, I feel the pressure

of the air that vomits

through the caverns

I traveled as a boy

with stalactites and stalagmites

dangling –

            forcing the me

unaware aware now…

 drawing myself away –

            you are a picture today.

            i am a picture today.

 i saw myself and everything around me

in blue,

and you

you were orange, some yellow,

            gray, and even a little

            blue…

                         faint streaks in the suit

            or there, there in the hair…

           i followed her because her body was your body –

             i'm losing, into the prints on the snow

            I press my hands hoping that

            permanence will somehow erupt

            through the pavement buried,

             underground, there is a train nearing –

            the rattling gives it away…

             aboard, endless streams of people journey

            from here to nowhere and back,

             they are perfecting the

            hurry

            hurry

            hurry

                        and I’m wondering

I've started today and now linked in to this blog which i've had a difficult time getting up and running for various reasons - some tied to doubt and lack of inspiration, others to do we really need another blog, more information jettisoned out in to the ether. but why not i say now more than ever in the struggle to remain or begin to be creative again. and as is the case most of the times it comes back to photography and writing, for the stimulus and movement we return. 

​Please join us for a reception for the installation "these marks are but fragments of us", this Thursday April 4th from 7-10 pm at CCA's main SF campus space in the Nave. 

This interdisciplinary studio looked to examine the nature of surfaces, color, light and space through the instigation and eventual transformation of CCA’s main nave space. By utilizing different techniques such as collage, modeling, photography, rendering, drawing and scripting, in both the analog and digital domain, the studio sought to explore the interstices between interior design, installation, art, and architecture.

By exploring a variety of themes each student developed their own studio project focused on a certain aspect of surface, color, light and space; and then further investigated these ideas through a series of material artifacts that culminated in their own final project that was combined, altered, shifted and integrated into a larger composition that comprises the final mural.

Exuberance. An overabundance of images frozen in stop motion. Pixelation, noise, reverberation, pause. This collective woven moment of transitory impermanence, a massive transparent surface imagined new, redefined and reconfigured as a degraded pulsating and shifting color field. These marks are but fragments of us.

Thanks to all the students involved in the course:

Carl Lyon

Carleigh Wamberg

Anna Korkobcova

Kathryn VanCleave

Sara Schneider

Alexander Decicco

Kangning Zhao

Jennifer Giessler

Taylor Patton

Alan Hayes

Sin Lao

Bianca Koch

Hossna Nadjafabadi

David Kelley

And special thanks to:

Ila Berman, Director of Architecture

Cathrine Veikos, Chair of the Interior Design Department

Lisa Stoneman, Director of Academic Administration

Noah Bartlett, Director of Facilities and Operations
