Here Today

It's been ages since I last posted, which has been bothering me a little (I tried for so long not to ever skip a whole month!), but right now I'm letting that go.

At first, I don't know if I really knew what my motivation for starting a blog was. Along the way it's served as a good place to think out loud, a place where I felt I could put some of my writings "out there" (since I was holding so tightly, and so closely to writing I was doing for my dissertation), a space where I could both be myself, but also get a look of myself, as well as a strategy of leaving myself breadcrumbs, of sorts, of travels, adventures, and other events in my life.

It's still all that, and more.

In any case, today I saw Linn Meyer's exhibit "Here Today" at UM's Art Gallery. I had learned about the exhibit from the school's newspaper, the Diamondback, and was intrigued by the description of the installation.

I actually came after the gallery's hours were over, but the gallery attendant who was trying to close up was kind enough to let me in with the few others who were still making their way out. A big thanks to her kind act!

I'm glad I saw the exhibit--the detail of the lines, as well as their movement really drew me in at the same time that they left me with an ethereal feeling.



I don't know that I have the words to really describe it, but I certainly enjoyed it. Hope other folks get the chance to experience it too, especially since after its run at the art gallery is done, it'll be destroyed, hence the title, "Here Today"
