... and the masking tape bouquets (as I think of them, or cake) drive me crazy w/ happiness: they look so gorgeous & yet the material...is the sticky side out? non.
but I am in love with all of these works, maybe
the most fragile most of all (you give me hope).
merci.
on august 24, with the help of a french poet, i will be moving the sentences, sculptures, cutlery, drawings, one cake dome and four dear tom letters to a storage unit in the 17th.
i ask my father for the german word for masking tape: Klebeband
sticky side out...
andrea fraser: i've always wanted art to question what i know already, to open me up as a human being so that my life is more deeply significant

'Sentience is the ability to feel, perceive, or be conscious, or to have subjective experiences. Eighteenth century philosophers used the concept to distinguish the ability to think ("reason") from the ability to feel ("sentience"). In modern western philosophy, sentience is the ability to have sensations or experiences (described by some thinkers as "qualia"). For Eastern philosophy, sentience is a metaphysical quality of all things that requires respect and care. The concept is central to the philosophy of animal rights, because sentience is necessary for the ability to suffer, which entails certain rights. In science fiction, non-human characters described as "sentient" typically have similar abilities, qualities and rights as human beings'
