from ( http://www.guggenheim.org/new-york/collections/collection-online/show-full/piece/?search=Richard%20Serra&page=2&f=People&cr=12 ) "
There is also the progression of time. There is the chronological time it takes to walk through and view The Matter of Time, between the beginning and end of the visit. And there is the experiential time, the fragments of visual and physical memory that linger and recombine and replay."

*identity.
dependency, fulfillment, personalities...

graffgirl artwork by graffgirl rachelSTK


rachelSTK, my favorite west coast graff girl, was with me the past two events I was apart of (HARD SUMMER 2010 and HARD HALLOWEEN 2010) and just sent over some illustrations of her and the other girls with the pieces i painted on them at the events. its real fun to see my pieces redone in different styles by different artists. its pretty clear i think graffgirls who are talented are so badass.
