cerita semalam



aku sering bertanya tentang satu hewan

dulu

yang katanya tidak pernah ada

tapi aku melihatnya

dalam mimpiku semalam

gerakannya anggun

memandang tenang dengan matanya yang jernih

hadir dengan segala kesuciannya

meninggalkan cukup ruang

yang dikosongkan oleh cintanya

ia berdiri tegak

dan tetap tidak butuh eksistensi

aku memberinya makan

bukan dengan biji-bijian

tapi dengan kemungkinan akan keberadaannya

di sini

bersamaku

dan

itu memberinya banyak kekuatan

hingga dari keningnya tumbuh tanduk

satu tanduk

ia tumbuh menyerupai perawan

putih

bercahaya

di dalam cermin

dan di dalam dirinya sendiri

kemudian

ia menciumku dengan senyumnya

ciumannya menumbuhkan dua sayap

di punggungku

kemudian ia terbang

berputar sebentar di atas kepalaku dua jengkal

ia tertawa

tawanya mengajakku pergi

bersama

selamanya

dan

aku terbangun

dengan cerita dunia unicorn

di tanganku

other form of wall art : pinboards.

Who says that only serious artwork merits a place on the wall?
A simple pinboard featuring postcards, photos or children's drawings makes a very personal piece of art.

There was an artist, Kurt Schwiters ( kalo gak salah ), who first introduced this concept of art.
He was particularly fond of 'found' objects - from tickets and bits of linoleum to worn out shoe soles - which he used to create collages and fragmented arrangements.

It didn't involve a paintbrush or canvas but the end result was still powerful.

Actually there are many different contemporary ways to develop his original idea.

You could, for example, make a montage of momentos from foreign trips as a visual reminder of your travels, or run a single line of postcards along a wall or around the room.

You could even decorate an entire wall of the lavatory with a collage.
Another idea is to update a postcard collage to reflect the seasons, using pictures of blue skies and tropical waters in the summer and rainy Jakarta when night is come, or whatever it is.

The ultimate personal collage, however, is one that is made up of photos of your friends.
The appeal of pinboard art is usually offers fascinating insights into the owner's personality and lifestyle.

Put simply, it is the art of ( real ) life.
