Romano: *blinks before having flashbacks to younger days when Antonio was a pirate* “The last time I saw him angry…it was terrifying…people were scared of him…and I was too. Lots of yelling…and axe swinging…I don’t want to remember those days…”
2p Spain: *looks up and grunts as he shrugs* “I can, sí. I usually only write music for guitar…and what I write about? Hmm…sometimes just music without lyrics..sometimes songs about the past glory…occasionally songs about loss. It depends.”
Sometimes I would tell my mother stories about little things. Like skimming rocks across the river or catching fireflies in the mulberry fields. And when I told those stories, I could see her eyes were mostly clear. I could tell she saw me. Really saw me. I could see her, too. Her real self. Her spirit trying to fight its way out. It was beautiful.
Kiki Smith – Lilith, 1994 – Bronze, silicon, and glass.
“In medieval Jewish lore, Lilith was Adam’s first wife. When she demanded to be Adam’s equal, she was evicted from the Garden of Eden. Lilith flew away to the demon world, replaced by the more submissive Eve. Smith catches us off guard with Lilith’s pose and placement. Most sculptures receive our gaze passively, but Lilith stares back with piercing brown eyes, ready to pounce.”
Well no you don’t. Besides, I like these ideas and might do the ones that don’t win another time, so it’s not like “Chose now and never see these options for the rest of your life!”
