There is nothing that I could write here that would explain the feelings I get from her body of work. Please go see for yourself.

Serpent head. Aztec, ca. 1250-1521. Stone, 90 x 92 x 155 cm. Museo Nacional de Antropología, INAH, Mexico City. Photo Michel Zabé, assistant Enrique Macías. [click here for details, but not until you’ve browsed my website first PUNK!]

I’ve been to this exhibit twice. The first time I went with Chris, Devon & Jeff. Not only was it great hanging out – but I am always transported when it comes to Aztec and Mayan art and architecture. I’m not sure what happens, but something comes over me and it’s very easy for me to picture what I think it must have been like living in those times. I wish I could speak thier languages.

Then I went again, with my brother and my dad a few months later. It’s even more impressive the second time. We were making fun of old franky and how he built the museum so that everyone’s knees and backs give out before you get to the bottom floor. And – we think he designed the bathrooms as a big “f-you” because how could anyone ever sit down in those toilets?!

Anyway, I liked the art.

So I’ve got camera fever! I bought a new digital camera and I love it. It’s a Nikon D70 body (I already had the lenses from my film cameras). Man I love it. I bought it before christmas and the batteries haven’t run out yet! I have posted pictures of my trip to the Zoo (check out the giraffe pictures – don’t they look like some wacky david lynch movie set?!) I had fun with jenn and Scott that day. They’re the bomb! (boogie down, what what!)
