“I am really interested in silence. In inarticulacy also, which isn’t the same as silence. As a performer I like looking at the gaps between what people want to communicate and what they can communicate. I love good filmmaking that isn’t just about really proficient writers of dialogue, who think that everybody’s really articulate and everybody can hear each other really well. That doesn’t feel true to me, actually. I mean, that’s a fantastical universe.”

- Tilda Swinton (via leighway)

Rex Hicks | on Tumblr (USA)

Originally from Iowa, Rex Hicks moved to Quincy where he has just started delving into the art scene. After some design work experience, he decided to take a stab at painting. With very little knowledge of how to paint in any traditional styling, Rex thought the best thing to try on was a printed out photograph. The result is unexpected: through creative lighting, unexpected color combinations and an obvious comfort with experimentation, Rex combines physical and digital mediums to exude expression of his sometimes brooding, always thoughtful themes. (cf. interview with artist  by thelocalq) Please visit artist’s Flickrs or follow his Tumblr for more work and inspiration.

“Damn, it’s such a cliché, but the best books feel like little private secrets between me and the author. Little love affairs. Ways of staving off loneliness and despair, of connecting to another human being on the most intimate level without actually meeting in person.”

Artist’s statement: 

“How can we accept that we are changing? How can we accept we hardly recognize ourselves in certain situations? I am changing at this very moment of my life. I do not react in the same ways I used to. I am surprised. Is that me? These pictures are the way I see myself now. My shadow is there but I erase myself because I don´t know who I am any longer. The shoes remain only to make sure there is something more than…a shadow.”

“We are put on this planet only once, and to limit ourselves to the familiar is a crime against our minds.”

I am going to be a bit of a fangirl here, but your book is honestly one of my favorite "comfort" books. I'm a 19-year-old gay girl so I found it very easy to relate to and just incredibly captivating. Every time I read it I always finish it wanting so much

Hey Liz,

Thanks very much—that’s completely fantastic to hear. I’m wholly delighted that CAM’s a “go to” comfort book for you. (And thanks for writing me to say so.)

All best!
