When Styles Collide

[akirlu]

Well, the tree is decorated, and the fireplace still works. How's that for cosy? I'm having a bit of trouble reconciling the Very Modern wall clock with the Swedish Traditional tree, but what is life and art but the deafening collision of conflicting influences? Hope you're safe and warm and well fed wherever you are this Solstice night.

Yep, it was the, what is that? It's too long for a bust. Whatever it is, that's what stuck out to me.

I call it an odalisque. It was a directed exercise in my life sculpture class and I'm particularly pleased to finally have a mantel broad enough to display it safely.

You made that? Wow, that's good.

Thank you. Sculpture is probably my strongest suit, art-wise. Pity I could never find a way to make a decent living out of it.
