these words are important to us

i saw a contemporary art exhibit at the guggenheim some years ago and saw a piece by a brazilian artist called, "these words are important to me". i loved the concept - words as art - and wanted to do a similar project on my future bedroom door in the future house i'd someday have built.

since my roommates and i were brainstorming on house decorations, i brought up the idea, and caro had paint samples and acrylic crayons. these are what we came up with over dinner the other night. oddly enough, none of the genitalia or sex-related words are mine. although i did make "poop".

did you make poop like a good girl? that's so good that you're going through with your potty training at such a late stage... :P

seriously though, i really like the concept of functional art. i don't suppose you have a plan to form sentences with these words like those fridge magnets?

one of the roommies thought we could make like mobiles with them or something, but i think they're too big for fridge magnets.

no, not make them into fridge magnets but continually rearrange them into new sentences just like those fridge magnets. mobiles sounds pretty cool too though :)
