thesis pride.
Wow, maybe it's because it's all still new and I've barely begun, but sitting down at work tonight and reading articles about Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his buildings and furniture is just super fun and enrapturing.
I want to find some pics of these interiors and link to them, they're incredible. Lots of tension between curvilinear and rectilinear, natural imagery and inspiration versus later geometric abstraction, light vs dark, rough and vernacular versus fantastical and sensuous. Mad erotic undertones going on here. I wonder what to title my thesis: Erotic Environments: The Collaborative Interiors of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Margaret Macdonald; something about this crazy tension.
All of a sudden it strikes me as so strange that I'm writing my thesis on some turn-of-the-century mustachioed Scottish architect/designer. How geeky. Div III is so built up, like, for four years and throughout that time everyone wonders about what they might end up doing theirs on. When I came here, I was all about ethnography and wanted to do one on urban graffiti artists. Wow, look at me now. There's a host of potential topics too, I add more onto it every day. Not enough time, yet. Sometimes the specificity of a project really belies the incidental nature by which one stumbles upon it. I know it's not my life's work, but I laugh thinking what I've wanted to say to others when I hear about their topics: "You chose that as your intellectual passion/persuit for the next year?!" It's great. I just need a sexy and impressive title.
These are two crappy images, one of a bedroom and the other of a famous chair from the house. Oh well, there doesn't seem to be much from this specific interior.
Holy shit, can you say, "tattoo"? Wow, I want one. Look at these designs:
