"PIGMENT" by Diana-Smiles

Piggy-backing off the art supplies from EFAC’s Cabinet of Extinct Curiosities from Fall 2012 Playa del Fuego, Pigment of the Imagination debuted at Fall 2013 Playa del Fuego in the middle of a Nor’easter.  Mud, mud, mud, and more mud, relentless wind, and non-stop rain could not keep the creative spirit from expressing itself!

Notes on listening to Kelly McGonigal's TED talk:

CHASING MEANING is better for your health than seeking to AVOID DISCOMFORT.

General principle I learned from Captain Awkward: if a situation sucks for YOU, then it is already broken. You aren't creating a problem; there is already a problem and you're refusing to take it on singlehandedly, in secrecy and silence anymore.

Questions I had written on a small piece of paper without attribution, so possibly they are by me:

WHAT DO YOU FEAR; WHAT IS HOLDING YOU BACK; WHAT IS STEALING YOUR TIME & KEEPING YOU FROM COMPLETING YOUR GOALS?

I want to write about talking with Amanda Fucking Palmer at last night's amazing house party, but a lot of it was nonverbal and/or needs deeper processing. But it was amazing, and will surely lead to further art mayhem.

Then again maybe we won't

EFAC will be *attending* Figment (some of us), but not Doing A Thing At It. It is too hot to think about art. Things to be thought about now are ice and shadows, little caves full of cool damp air, lime popsicles, lazily fanning fronds and ocean breezes. Wax melts; yarn smells a bit funny; metal is too hot to touch. Go take a nap.
