The Book of Me

I’ve been struggling with how to manage and operate my blog. I started it because of a curiosity about blogging. It morphed into being an outlet to introduce my art, my ideas, my thoughts, which encompasses so many elements from design, art and religion to my family. Basically, probably, what the whole concept of blogging was suppose/does contain. But, majority of the time I feel like nobody’s here but me. Maybe that isn’t so bad.

So, today, with still no clear vision here is who has moved me and propelled me to continue to find the story within me. This is just a rough sampling and in no particular order.

Joseph Cornell (December 24, 1903 – December 29, 1972) was an American artist and sculptor, one of the pioneers and most celebrated exponents of assemblage.
