Thursday Post. 10.1.

So, I just wrote my idea blog for this Thursday and I continue to do this backwards, but this is my idea right now, but to apply to last weeks blog.

FIRE. So, I just rambled about water for a while in my previous entry and now it's time to talk about fire. I'm fascinated by what human beings are fascinated with. You follow? Pre-history is so good to me, I think that the early beginnings of human kind are some of the most interesting texts out there. What is in all of those texts? FIRE. Human beings are obsessed with fire. Even today, when electricity has overpowered everything and our senses have become dull and our bodies are soft, we can still sit around a fire and be completely captivated by it's beauty. Fire is timeless and treacherous and it stops for no one. Water can smother fire...that's interesting. Look at the fire/water thing I've got going on...

So I've been so curious about what my precious neons will look like underwater and now I'm dying to know what they will look like inside of a fire! Getting burned. The transition from bright to black. The ash/soot finale. The blazing beginning and middle. Fire would also give the piece the motion it needs to pop. The moment of the thing catching on fire...I can't wait! That's my idea for this week. I'm excited!
