So I've had the plague since last Monday. Here are some pictures. They really don't do it justice because my super nice Canon can't even bring itself to focus on the madness in my mouth. That's right, my tongue was orange...for 3 days...and no, I didn't eat orange things. Jerk Dr. Bentley (who almost killed me once, but was the only one on call) said that was normal. WTF?? NORMAL? He said "it was my tongue regrowing" or something. Bull. And then, there were chunks of taste bubs missing as the back. Just bloody holes. Gross. Take a gander at the red enflamed mess that is my throat. Ya, it hurts as bad as it looks. AKA, no swallowing. On the bright side, I didn't eat for a couple days so that cancelled out not going to the gym. Now, the throat is in check as well and the discolored/mangled tongue situation, but I have a sinus infection and haven't had a voice since Saturday. I talk all day at my job. Amen for texting. ox and good luck not catching the plague because its sooo not funs and it'll make you uber sad.
Marinate on this:
"In my work this romantic ideal of union with the natural world conflicts with our contemporary impact on the environment. These pieces are in part responses to environmental stressors including climate change, toxic pollution, and gm crops. They also borrow from myth, art history, figures of speech and other cultural touchstones. In some pieces aspects of the human figure stand-in for ourselves and act out sometimes harrowing, sometimes humorous transformations which illustrate our current relationship with the natural world. In others, animals take on anthropomorphic qualities when they are given safety equipment to attempt to protect them from man-made environmental threats. In each case the union between man and nature is shown to be one of friction and discomfort with the disturbing implication that we too are vulnerable to being victimized by our destructive practices."
