Let Me Not: William Shakespeare

heatherkorn26 — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 17:16:54 -0800

LET ME NOT

Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments, love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove.

O no! it is an ever-fixed mark,

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

It is the star to every wand'ring bark,

Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks

Within his bending sickle's compass come,

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,

But bears it out even to the edge of doom:

If this be error and upon me proved,

I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace. -Oscar Wilde, writer (1854-1900)

High up Above or Down Below

heatherkorn26 — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 10:20:08 -0700

When you try your best

but you don't succeed

When you get what you want

but not what you need...

When you feel so tired

but your too tired to sleep

Stuck in Reverse

when the tears come streaming

down your face

when you lose something

you cannot replace

When you love someone

but it goes to waste

Could it be worse?

High up above

Or Down below

When you too in love to let it go

If you never try you'll never know

Just watch and learn

Tears stream down your face

When you lose something you cannot replace

Tears Stream down your face

And I...

I see a Stream on your face

I wanna see you running

learn from mistakes

Lights will guide you home

and ignite your bones

and I will try to fix you.

No Longer Empty: Revitalizing Space: Unlocking Creativity

heatherkorn26 — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 16:36:34 -0700

No Longer Empty is Revitalizing Space and Inspiring Creativity in Brooklyn New York.

"NO LONGER EMPTY is an innovative project involving a group of artists and curators who are interested in exploring a new paradigm for making and presenting art.

A series of exhibitions and events is planned that will utilize multiple vacated storefronts and offices in Manhattan. NO LONGER EMPTY was conceived specifically to encourage an artistic response to our present economic condition and the effect on both the urban landscape and the national psyche. The numerous vacated buildings in New York City provide an opportunity for artists to revitalize these spaces with thoughtful, sustainable art installations.

“We see an opportunity here to create something positive from the current climate. Art can thrive in this environment and lead the way towards creative ways of thinking and dealing with these changes.”

The curators will be shaping a dynamic inter-related series of art installations, video works, sculpture, photography, painting, sound art and performance, installed not in traditional gallery or museum settings but in the public domain, suggesting new models of community art. -Excerpt taken from No Longer Empty Introduction

Van Gogh The Park at Arles with the Entrance Seen through the Trees

Painting, Oil on Canvas
Arles: October, 1888
Destroyed by fire in the Second World War

A keyhole view into a magical park as seen through the master's eyes. Perceptions lost in a world shrewd with war, yet lives on through us. Gates and heart shaped pathways into a land of lush love and tender grass, once seen by layman eyes, are not soon forgotten.

Shaped and Fashioned by Love

heatherkorn26 — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 11:24:00 -0700

We are shaped and fashioned by what we LOVE.

Standing on the stairwell of the LACMA that over looks the

Hollywood mountains, I am reminded that we are what we

surround ourselves with. What we receive is what we have

put out in the Universe. The never ending debate between

Fate or Coincidence surrounds our every breath, and the

suggestion that life is constantly changing and evolving is

refreshing and endearing for me.

Just a simple pair of clogs escalated to the height of infinitely in depth and remembered for their simplistic yet intricate brush strokes. Muted colored offer timeless inspiration for designers and artists alike to dwell in the mystical room that these famous shoes rest.

Van Gogh: Outskirts of Paris

Painting, Oil on Canvas on Cardboard
Paris: Autumn, 1886
Private collection

Sometimes I think what made Van Gogh so amazing was his loneliness. For me no other artist captures that feeling better or with more passion. Van Gogh often used whatever materials her could get his hands on for his art. His masterpieces found him in the oddest of times with materials such as cardboard for his canvas.
