Artist Ben Wiemeyer and Ollie. It's important to notice the wooden bar at the bottom of the painting. It is loaded with razor blades. everyday the bar is raised a foot and the razors slice through, until by the end of the show the painting has been shredded. How do you feel about that? disturbed even a little?well i wasn't at all as disturbed about that as i was when the barista asked me if i was a missionary.
HUH?????
i laughed so hard. but seriously, what gave her that idea???
Olllllllllie?yeah.
do i look righteous?
what do you mean by righteous?
i think i need a better hat!

o to BE wholesome without looking it.
I kind of love that it gets shredded, it's kind of how you feel at the end of a show anyway.
yeahhhhh. but azucar, what about my hat?! scratch that question! i think i know what you'd say! a practical article of clothing...
=)
I love the painting, complete with shredding.
Maybe she meant to ask if you were an Amish missionary. Do the Amish have missionaries?
amber, that's what oliver and i were thinking! either she hadn't been in Utah long and didn't know LDS missionaries pretty much look normal and wouldn't wear a hat like mine OR a wholesome mennonite missionary ( i don't know if they exist either.)
also, is it just me or is the word"wholesome" so much better than "righteous" unless you're referring to a righteous generation. then it doesn't bug so much.
That makes me laugh sooo hard. Well, are you?
I am not disturbed by the shredding. In fact I love it. I think it's really great. It implies that more is coming. And it makes you really look at what you won't be able to look at later. And i think the shreds will make great weaving materials.
what did oliver graduate in? i only ask because my brother was an art major at the U.
Maybe she had you mixed up with Maria VonTrap. It's a "hills are alive" kind of hat.
tam, what a great idea! a giant basket! or maybe i can weave myself a new hat!
pamo, ollie graduated in 2004 with a BFA in Intermedia. I wish BYU had an Intermedia as an emphasis. And ollie wishes the U had student studios like byu.
andi, i love julie andrews (for reals!). that hat is so retired. (not.)
It's because you are now a Painter of LIght.
