hillary: i see you
78 Days Until the Election
Across time, many of the wisest among us have offered advice regarding the ridiculous, the unjust, and well, the stupid. In her time of political service, Hillary has certainly seen more than her fair share of all three, but her current opponent must take the cake. In honor of how gracefully she's handling the opposition's swing between fear-mongering and buffoonery, I've found some words of wisdom that I think we can all appreciate. Enjoy.

hillary: i see you
In the days since my last post, three things have occurred to me:
1. It's impossible to maintain a daily ritualistic art practice when life tosses several
challenges that need immediate solutions into the mix all at once.
2. It's important to attempt to regain a foothold on the ritual as soon as possible.
3. It's equally important to remain flexible and accept limitations.
With that said, I'm going to flex off my original plan to create a daily art piece for hillary: i see you, and instead, begin...

hillary: i see you
day nine & day ten
so, i wondered...
i see hillary my way, but how do others see her?

hilllary: i see you
day 7 & 8
this past week, I've learned many interesting things about hillary, the child, the teen. as innate traits, these things explain a lot about who she is today. why she takes a certain path when faced with opposition. why she responds a certain way when critiqued. why she laughs when others wouldn't. and why, when others shrug their shoulders, she gets down to business. here's my list:

Day 4 and 5art with commentary
Hillary sported wing-tipped glasses &
made pant suits jokes at ceremony for
Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs, Michael Hammer.
Yesterday, on what would've been Day 4 of this art campaign, I opted out of art making in order to follow a spark of curiosity regarding a writing project. One thing lead to another with said writing project--a story that includes a smidge of politics--and I ended up recalling memories of my own Student Council day...
