quite gorgeous

This artist, Angelo Filomeno, uses embroidery on silk as paint on canvas. My first thoughts on seeing his work were 1) how haunting and beautiful and 2) who has that kind of time?! It made me pine for my UT art school days and unstructured hours that I then had no idea how to spend. I don't know how 18 year olds can be expected to make anything interesting when we have barely begun to know how to think, taste, feel much less express. (Did someone just whisper youth is wasted on the young in my ear?)
