I've now read more about Rebecca Woodman too.. what a sad story. Such an inspired girl.. I can't believe she was nearly my age

Right now...I'm inspired by the phrase "more bark than bite." All of these other images and ideas have come to mind from thinking about that phrase, and I feel like I'm come up with some interesting designs in my head, having all these concepts floating around!

Thierry Le Goues' "Soul" series. The images are just so striking, I can't get over them. And I think it's just a really interesting way of approaching nude photographs. It's not so much about showing nudity as it is about creating lines with it. Not to mention that they remind me quite a bit of the Jil Sander S/S 09 ad campaign....I wish I knew which came first.

I had heard about Susan Boyle my brother sent me the video but I didn't gave importance and didn't watch it until today, I must say it's the best video I've seen in a while this moved me so much it's incredible the vibe this woman have, even before of hearing her sing I already loved her such a lovely, funny, charismatic woman
If you hadn't seen it, it's defenitly worth watching

I was very very inspired by the HBO special called Born Into Brothels. I found it extremely sad, but it made me appreciate every little thing I have in my life. I am also researching how I can help the situation a bit. You should watch it if you have Comcastn Demand. http://www.hbo.com/docs/programs/born_into_brothels/index.html

Quotes from the Book of Revelations concerning the wh*re of Babylon.
I am using the quotes to explain and display my work without any personally written input.
These quotes are CnPed from the internet, but the quotes I am using are from an early 19th century bible in which the words are quite different.
The entire presence of the wh*re in the bible is completely metaphoric for different things, but the basis of my project is to take these quotes literally. At face value.
And so you can guess how my display will look . .

Quotes that inspired the aesthetics:

"I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-coloured animal, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns."

"The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her fornication. "

My artist statement (to explain my display):

"I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered with great amazement."

Written around the plinth:

"Mystery, Babylon the Great, mother of harlots and abominations of the earth."

On a piece of paper in her hand(?

"I sit a queen, and am no widow, and will in no way see mourning."
