Hello everyone. I haven't posted in a fair while so here are some photos I took the other day whilst my boyfriend and my friend were hanging out at my house. They're not very artistic at all, and I had no theme or style in mind when shooting them, I just felt that they turned out well...Hmm...I also liked the natural feel they have to them.( Pictures with not much meaningCollapse )
I hope that the nature of this post does not offend anyone. However, the nature of this art definitely offends me!Nathalia Edenmont is an artist who kills animals (cats, rabbits, mice, etc.) and then mutilates their bodies for the sake of art. She has been featured in exhibits, such as the Wetterling Gallery, in Sweden. Personally, I think that the style of this "art" is purely based on shock value. If she can stir up a controversy, she gets famous. No?Here is a link to her "artwork." (WARNING, CONTENT MAY BE OFFENSIVE)http://www.wetterlinggallery.com/archive/nathalia/nathalia_main.htmThe Wetterling Gallery's Justification of her work: http://www.wetterlinggallery.com/newsletter/newsletter.htmLink to a petition against her art. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/853089392I think that it's okay to have justified opinions against someone's artwork.While I am not saying that she should stop "expressing herself" (no one should be stripped of that freedom), I do strongly disagree with what she is doing to animals. And again, I'm sorry if this post has disturbed you; I have trouble keeping quiet about things which I truly belive to be wrong.

Here are some b&w I took as a photostory for my school's newspaper. I didn't like how the ending came out, but the weather changed on us (oh, Ohio) so I couldn't reshoot in time. For now, I hope you enjoy these. Let me know what you think.Invitation

Welcome to parterre!This is an art community, check userinfo for more info.Par terre is french for "on the ground", and is taken from a poem by Verlaine. The whole title is "L'amour par terre", which means "love on the ground."L'amour par terre -by VerlaineThe wind the other night blew down the Love That in the dimmest corner of the park So subtly used to smile, bending his arc,And sight of whom did us so deeply moveOne day! The other night's wind blew him down! The marble dust whirls in the morning breeze. Oh, sad to view, o'erblotted by the trees,There on the base, the name of great renown!Oh, sad to view the empty pedestal! And melancholy fancies come and go Across my dream, whereon a day of woeForeshadowed is--I know what will befall!Oh, sad!--And you are saddened also, Sweet, Are not you, by this scene? although your eye Pursues the gold and purple butterflyThat flutters o'er the wreck strewn at our feet.
