an explanation

Folks, I think I need to clarify my venture into abstract daffodil art. I left my podcasting class last week feeling lame. All of the "hip" podcasts we looked at struck me as nothing special. One of them was by a woman named Rayne, I guess her blog has had all kinds of attention from the New York Times and other culturally significant publications. Anyway, the post we watched showed her in a car at Mt. Rushmore, where she considered the value of actually pulling over and paying to park or just viewing from afar and moving on.

Anyway, the point is that I left class feeling like it is totally random what gets to be counted as "cool." I told Liv I might have more luck if I just did some random daffodil art podcasts and called it a day. Thus the abstract daffodil art. I just wanted to prove that I could make something abstract and seemingly artistic..."artistic" by virtue of the fact that it is inaccessible. It seems like that is what defines so much of what we call Art--work that is completely inaccessible to ordinary folk.

Yeah, 'ordinary folk,' that's me.
