Self-Portrait 3

One of those days when I need my own space.
During the next week, I'm uploading self-portraits to explore my own art,
with a reflection from the day.

Botanic Garden

Brooklyn Botanic Garden
Every plant has their unique way of growing, they make choices, and their instincts follow the light to heaven. But to reach high to the light, they have to be grounded. The roots are digging deeper and deeper down to the ground, to get the nutrition from the earth. The older they get, the deeper they root, the bigger they grow. Plants are balanced, takes and gives from both heaven and earth, from the light and the dark.

Plants are all about balance. We should learn from them!

Self-Portrait 2

I caught myself after the Harry Josh Spring Fling party at the Hiro Ballroom.
After a crazy night, with dancing, mingling, bowling and a damn hardcore charade.
I went home all alone, tired as a hiding shadow.

Restaurant

I had the Green Soup

Delicious house blend that consists of kale, spinach, celery, extra virgin olive oil, celtic sea salt, and lemon juice and avocado.

Inspiring Books

A quote from "Truth" by Susan Batson:

"Acting is a craft - a disciplined art form that uses everything that makes an individual artist unique, from the DNA up. When you can find the joy of using the good, the bad, the ugly, the evil, and the sublime in yourself to create a scripted character, you're on the way to expertly practicing this craft. The more you're willing to share the events and sensations that have made you who you are, the better an artist you will be. The more willing you are to tell the truth, the stronger an actor you will be."

On Stage

Gonna watch the Creditors tonight...

Creditors - 2010 Spring Season

Apr 16—May 16
Tue—Sat at 7:30pm
Sun at 3pm

Presented by BAM and Donmar Warehouse

By August Strindberg
In a new version by David Greig
Directed by Alan Rickman

"Thrilling... you're likely to feel you've had the breath knocked out of you." —The New York Times

"A roller-coaster of sex, lies and revenge." —Time Out New York

“These are A-list performances, pulsating with pain and hard as diamonds.” —The Times (UK)

Directed by Alan Rickman, this fiercely modern battle of the sexes comes to BAM following a sold-out run at London’s Donmar Warehouse (RED, Jude Law’s Hamlet, Frost/Nixon). A darkly comic tale of vengeance, jealousy, and psychological warfare, Creditors unfolds as a young husband (Tom Burke, in his New York debut), anxiously awaiting the return of his new wife (Olivier Award-nominee Anna Chancellor), falls under the sway of a mysterious stranger (Tony Award-winner Owen Teale).

Self-Portrait

Paolo Roversi once told me that I should take portraits of myself to explore being in front of the camera, but at the same time behind. I will explore it....
