3rd Entry for January 26, 2010
These were 3-minute poses. B- has a big mane of hair, and along with the hoop there was the length of thick rope which she was playing with draping and twisting in various ways. A lot of busy elements to try to resolve in a short span of time. (but that's a part of the challenge that I like)
The music continued with the Tom Waits superset: a steady flow of songs from Rain Dogs, Swordfishtrombones and Frank's Wild Years. I really like Tom Waits' music, and the alternating melancholy and rambunctious carnival ambience of it suited the situation, but it was almost too much of a good thing. It isn't easy music to be settled to. Put that all together, and these aren't the most focussed batch of studies, but were among the more fun and exuberant ones to make. I'm not sure that that necessarily translated into the studies themselves.
For the full viewing effect of these posts, have a look while playing "More Than Rain" off of Frank's Wild Years.
