I like this post a lot. I’ve found female writers deal with the intimate relationship between people and their surroundings really well. I’m especially thinking of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte and am Currently reading some Jane Austen. I’m not so interested in the tales of love that form the basis of the plots but the astute female narraters and and the confinement of the stories to intimate localities. I just wrote a fellowship proposal about colonial women artists in Australia and what their work means to landscape art as a whole, i think it’s very relevant to this.

I really liked this post but didn’t (and don’t now) have time to reply adequatly, I shall soon. I will quickly say though that you articulated excellently all the repulsion I felt after reading the comment in question and you’ve done a great service to myself at least but I expect many others by doing so.

This is a thought provoking post and it makes me reflect on my motivations for doing this work and how dramatically they can differ from peoples assumptions. I want to respond to say how I’m relating to and contextualizing your video diary though.

I’ve been paying a lot of attention to your domesticity lately, through your blogging, through my drawings of you and having been your guest. I’m seeing this project as more about place and space and how our behavior affects these. How do we personalize space? by filling it, living in it and documenting it. Is masturbation a tool to create intimacy with our environment? To what extent does the safety and comfort of home affect our sexual expression? How does sharing our sexual selves in our own personal spaces change what is communicated, altering the relationship created between viewer and subject. Mainly how does everything we do relate back to the construction of home.

haha, I can’t imagine asking this question on my blog, I’m sure it would cause a fervor of complaints. I like my garish colors, large j-pegs and stuff.

I appreciate your want to make yours more appealing. I thinks fine the way it is, you should post more! I like hearing your thoughts.

2 thoughts:

1. Everything under one roof–makes everything easy to find.

2. The tiny little smiley you have–it would be really cool if one could click on it & something would happen. Nothing big or fancy, but a little line drawing cartoon, just a few seconds long& about the same size(or whatever you want)–and every so often it would change.

3. I think links are cool–the more the merrier! I love to go exploring.

I hadn’t even noticed that stuff about the links. Thanks for that Kate. There are several elements I think I can do without, and I think the ‘related posts’ things is one of them. I am not sure I noticed that one either, but that could be because I don’t see them when I’m logged in.

Thanks for the comments, folks.

Funny how as soon as something is mentioned, you begin notice it more.
Never really had any thoughts along these lines, so I’ll just say that I like it as it is; it’s the content we’re here for.

I really like the simplicity of this blog, it has the feeling of a crisp, clean book, making it easy and relaxing to read.

I agree with Kate about the link colours, though. They’re the only thing that both me in the slightest.
