i havent wrote anything on this for nearly a week...i have came close many times but could never get my brain to think enough to form somesort of coherent sentence. But here i am now.

For the first half of this week i had been stuttering through my work...I had looked at many artists but was unsure of what to do next. One of the artists i had looked at was marina abramovic...the link is to a page with a preview of her performance "art must be beautiful, artist must be beautiful"...which the still below is from. In the performance she is aggressively brushing her hair with a comb and a brush, continuely saying "art must be beautiful, artist must be beautiful". On the link it explains what the piece is about - "it is not about physical pain, but rather about the mental state that can be reached by way of pain." Watching this it is her facial expressions that interest me, going from almost staring into space to the brow creasing when pain is felt.
