Thou want art thou get

Art, funny word that really. Three letters long, one vowel and after much testing appears to only take one second to write, yet this word means and stands for so much. So many interests, disciplines and hobbies come under this heading from Picasso to a large bunch of people all stopping dead still and the same time in a specific public building!!(http://www.break.com/index/200-people-freeze-in-grand-central.html)

More to point now after that insight into the word art.

This blog is about a piece of art that I have been seeing frequently in the Roland Levinsky Building here in Plymouth. I've past it on the stairs to the first floor, it's against a glass panel and it taunts me so, I love it and don't know why. It's not that it's a bad piece of art or anything it's that I want the damn thing . I want it now I wanted it when I first saw......god damn it I want that piece of art. But how, how would I go about getting it, would I just walk into their studio and yell out a price? would the creator think I was having em on? would they even want me have it? Knowing a few art students, they can be rather protective of their work at the best of times. But it will be mine I tell thee!!

Anyhow I shall try and get a photograph of it and post it on here for all to see.

Get a picture my friend. I dont mind a good piece of art these days, esepcially with the influence of Alexandra Dommett....! As for acquiring it, most student artist's would sell their work to members of the public, unless it means alot to them. Try it!
