Sketchbook Page: Word Art



Melange of Irreconcilable Otherness


Do you ever read those artsy fartsy art mags and wonder what the heck they 're blathering on about. Yes! I get it after thinking okey dokey then, nice bit of bull*hitting! Sometimes I wonder if what I'm reading is not so much about the content of the words, but written more for how nice the words LOOK, like word art. Sort of flux'ish, if you know what I mean. No! Well, it means! and if you're too lazy to go to the link: "Fluxus creators like to see what happens when different media intersect."


Oh! the image is a little painting I did in my sketchbook today. I added the phrase (which I really like reading and saying over and over) after reading my mag:
Poor hubby if I am not doing my Arianna Huffington voice (my fave person to mimic lately) I fling my current fave words at him.
Hubby: What's for dinner then?
Moi: A melange of irreconcilable otherness
Hubby: That's nice dear, pass the salt.

I like your answer, "a melange of irreconcilable otherness". I should try this sometime and get a good laugh from the puzzled stares back at me. I usally respond it's called "fill it up and shut up". Although I don't advocate telling people to shut up, it's sort of a joke- my husband's mom used to use this phrase everytime anyone complained about what was for dinner. (in a good natured way of course)

cynthia, that is more polite than what I used to get when I asked what's for dinner! Shit with Sugar!
I guess all families have their ways of answering that question. fun to hear what others say.

angela, why are we not allowed to make fun of art? ;)
thanks for dropping by domestic minx (love the name).

I think it's a great little phrase dr.john and can see you incorporating that into a sermon somehow :)

philip when you see my interview (which I just finished) you will know that being able to bring a smile makes me happy :)

thanks mark, one is the original and the others are manipulated versions using microsoft picture it. She became others LOL!

Trouble posting comment again.

I like the phrase. I can see it being quite useful in certain situations.

Thanks for the link on Fluxus. Still trying to understand it.
