About Me

Look at her, with her ideas and stuff

Hi.

I am Rose. I'm beginning this blog to record the findings of what is now a conscious trip through the world of Beauty and Ugliness and WTFness that is ART.

Art as always been something completely out of my reach. As a musician and sound designer, my ears are my dearest appendages... and my eyes have been nothing but trouble: after three (effing painful) eye surgeries and six or so pairs of glasses, they are adequately functional. However, they still:

1) Cross, when a camera flash goes off.
2) Lead me to date unsuitable boys. (coughdrummerscough)
3) Cry, sometimes.

This is an attempt to make peace with my eyeballs. While I love the idea of making beautiful things, I can't help but be underwhelmed or (worse) apathetic when I look at most art. I don't get goosebumps the way I do with music.

So it starts. With the guidance of my artsy friends, of whom there are many, and the world wide interweb, and the veritable shit-ton of museums and galleries at my disposal, I go now, bravely into this unknown territory. I remain the optimist.
