John Berger

This is a quote from a video I was watching on youtube. I thought it was an interesting and amusing perspective.

"Men look at women. Women watch themselves being looked at.
this determines not only most relations between men and women
but also the relation of women to themselves. The surveyor of woman
in herself is male: the surveyed female. Thus she turns herself into an object –
and most particularly an object of vision: a sight.” John Berger

The spectator is often seeing a reflection of themselves perhaps...

Contemporary Artist Leah Tinari

I have worked days researching Leah Tinari, she captivated me with her lines and use of color. I have found that she has an unusual optimisim about the characters her in her work which I feel is really really suprising. However considering they are her friends and family, can you blame her? From what I researched she has not done art for years. She recently opened a resturant named FATTA CUCKOO, I hope that she finds a herself being re inspired to do art that is more relevant to todays popular culture. I would love to see it! Here is a extremely comprehensive compliation of her work, seriously took me hrs to find!

my favorite of her work, she just captures character
