 Nils-Udo

Nils-Udo is a German artist who creates environmental sculptures using objects he finds in the forest. Born in 1937 in Lauf an der Pegnitz, Nils-Udo started his artist journey through painting and drawing, however he found himself wanting to expand from the studio and decided to move onto creating natural sculptures. The artists main focus is sculpture and photography, his photography focuses on the landscapes of nature to symbolize the beauty and difference. 

Environmental art is a range of artistic practices encompassing both historical approaches to nature in art and more recent ecological and politically motivated types of works, this is what Nils-Udo focuses on creating.

Land art, variously known as Earth art, environmental art, and Earthworks, is an art movement that emerged in the 1960s and 1970s, largely associated with Great Britain and the United States but that also includes examples from many countries.

I find Nils-Udo’s work quite fascinating and quite historical, it reminds me of something a Witch would create back in the 1450s-1750s. If you have watched the Blair Witch Project, some nature art has been created in that film to symbolize aspects that are to do with a Witch, therefore this artists art reminds me of a Coven circle where a group of Witches gather, or perhaps a ritual of some sort? It makes me think of spiritual things and makes me feel interested and quite ambitious.

Nils-Udo’s work relates to my project ‘Your Space’ because, I have a lot of forest around me seeing as I live in the countryside, and I see a lot of animals on my casual walks, it made me want to express my emotions through my work on how I feel when I am surrounded by this big forest and countryside, I also wanted to symbolize the animals that live in the natural forest and create multi-media art on the trees, leaves, animals etc.

Non sono mai stato uno normale…tutti seguivano Jordan e i suoi Chicago Bulls o si divertivano a guardare i talenti di Iverson e Kobe (certo, anche io adoravo tutto questo), ma due cose mi hanno fatto innamorare di questo sport che ho sempre praticato (o almeno ci provo):

un giocatore in particolare e una squadra con un gioco bellissimo da vedere, che risponde al nome di San Antonio Spurs, guidati da coach Pop (e condotti magistralmente in campo da Ducan, Parker e Ginobili).

Oggi non voglio parlare di quella squadra e del suo sistema di gioco, che porta il basket ad un livello superiore.

La mia attenzione oggi va a lui, al mio giocatore preferito. Quello che in assoluto mi ha fatto divertire più di tutti e mi ha fatto innamorare di quella palla a spicchi.

Dopo tutte queste parole vi starete chiedendo di chi sto parlando…ecco, vi parlo del mio personalissimo numero uno…per davvero…lui è…Tracy McGrady!!!

Raga per me non c’è mai stato un giocatore come lui…come disse anche una volta Kobe “Si, io sono forte, ma il giocatore più forte che io conosca 1vs1 è T-Mac!” (E se lo dice il Mamba…).

Come vi dicevo, non sono un tipo normale, a me piace vedere un giocatore al di là dei risultati sportivi (infatti T-Mac non ha mai vinto una mazza) ma guardo altro…

Ad esempio, secondo voi, a chi poteva venire in mente durante un All Star game di arrivare in palleggio, lanciare la palla tra 2 avversari facendola battere sul tabellone e riprenderla in volo per schiacciare da solo?

Oppure, per citarne un’altra delle tante, a chi sarebbe mai venuto in mente di fare 13 punti in 35 secondi, vincendo la partita di 1 punto e guarda caso contro i San Antonio Spurs, famosi oltre che per il bel gioco anche per una difesa non proprio facile e morbida?

Ora basta annoiarvi con queste parole, ma vi invito ad andare a vedere i video su youtube su di lui per capire di chi sto parlando.

anyways fun little sidenote cuz ppl keep complaining about the music player not working, IT WORKS FINE, YOU ARE USING IT WRONG. you dont put the WHOLE ENTIRE url of a youtube video in the field. that doesnt do anything cuz that isnt how it works. easy misunderstanding though, dont worry about it pal! you simply have to select everything in the url AFTER THE EQUALS SIGN and copy and paste just that little bit. i promise you the music will play just fine if you do that. for example...

this is the url for a song. if you copy and paste the entire url, it will break the music player and it wont play. BUUUUT

I saw this tree bark while walking through a woodland park near where I live the main reason for taking this photo was for the photography part of my project.

Because my project is to do with the nature surrounding where I live I though that showing some close ups and distance photos of the natural objects like trees, flowers, leaves would be a good idea plus some photos of the animals I see in the park such as squirrels, dogs and birds.

So I guess like every good book, we’ll start with introductions.

Welcome everybody to my tumblr -slash- blog! As I said in the description, here we’ll be free to talk about everything that happens to you, where you can share yours stories, your thoughts and episodes you’ve been through a long time ago or - maybe - yesterday. Whatever.

So, yeah! I want to make this a place where everybody can be themselves without having peoeple telling they’re wrong, sinners or anything like that. Love is love and we - here - get that! I will ask right now for all homophobic or haters leave, because this is definetly not the place for you.

Before I ask you guys for stories, I should talk a little bit more about me. My name - not real - is Jenna and I’m brazilian - sorry for my english, btw. I’m bissexual, half assumed - my mom and sister know about it but my divorced father don’t - and I live in São Paulo.

I had a rough time accepting my sexuality, since I grew in a society that wouldn’t approve people dating if they weren’t from different genders. My sister and all cousins are straight and I never felt like dating women too. I guess that I used to think like that, because I had trouble accepting that maybe I was into girls. When I was little, I used to pray and ask for God to make me straight like everybody else. Well… So much for that, huh?

I’ve dated two guys before, in “long relationships” that I like to call it long, even though the longest one was for about six months. I was convinced I was straight even when I was 16 and used to make out with my girlfriends. I started really thinking it was ok for me to be bi only when I got to college and was exposed to a whole different world with a whole different people. And for the first time I felt like myself. And I couldnt be happier.

I am currently dating a girl - we’re together for 5 months now - (yay) and I’m pretty happy with her. I will talk about her in future posts and will let you guys know a little bit more about my life, family and friends further in this blog.

As a short version of all you guys need to know right now is that I’m starting to come out to my family, I’m having the best relationship in my life, I’m really in love and living day by day like all of you. Of course sometimes there are a few episodes in my life that I just want to slap everybody off and scream how they’re stupid, but we’ll get to that too.

Thank you for reading this far and I really hope you enjoy this space! This is for me and for you too!

See you in further posts.

Love,

Jenna.
