If the “passing privilege” person is looking at this blog, this is one thing you can do, if you’re up to it.

Gravity-Defying Land Art by Cornelia Konrads

German artist  creates mind-bending site-specific installations in public spaces, sculpture parks and private gardens around the world. Her work is frequently punctuated by the illusion of weightlessness, where stacked objects like logs, fences, and doorways appear to be suspended in mid-air, reinforcing their temporary nature as if the installation is beginning to dissolve before your very eyes. One of her more recent sculptures, Schleudersitz is an enormous slingshot made from a common park bench, and you can get a great idea of what it might be like to sit inside it with this interactive 360 degree view.

New Study Shows Hillary Clinton’s Face Makes Women More Confident

Tess VandenDolder Apr 25th at 1:07 pm 

In the study individual men and women were asked to give a speech in front of a panel of six strangers. For some there was a picture of Bill Clinton on the back wall and for others there was a picture of Hillary. Overall the men spoke longer and were judged as better speakers than the women, except for the group of ladies who spoke while looking into Hillary’s baby blues. That group blew the men out of the water as far as the length of their speeches and overall confidence and success in conveying their ideas publicly.

The conclusion researchers drew from this study was that when women are exposed to powerful female role models in leadership positions they gained instant boosts in confidence and the ability to achieve at high levels. ”Female political role models can inspire women and help them cope with stressful situations that they encounter in their careers, such as public speaking,” the authors of the study wrote. ”A lack of female powerful role models leads to a vicious circle, because if women fail to take leadership positions, they also fail to provide role models for junior women to follow.”

Self Portrait Without Looking

I drew myself without looking at the paper (using a photograph for visual reference) and then replicated it with embroidery for my visual arts class. Drawing without looking is my new favourite way to draw, it feels so comfortable and right. This makes me happy because you cannot control or predict the outcome and this has released me from my drawing rut.

Now that I am on uni holidays I will be making more pictures and paintings.

I got my grandpa to agree to try vietnamese food when I visit in august. This may be a long shot, but does anyone have any recommendations for vietnamese/pho places in central florida?

This was a man, dressed as a plant, making pigeon noises at people walking by. I said hello, asked if it was okay to take his picture, and then asked why he was dressed as a plant. He said, “I’m just working through some stuff. Thank you for asking. No ones asked yet.”

I’ve been dealing with stuff the wrong way.
