Hypercube #1 from Oilly Oowen on Vimeo. Hypercube #2 from Oilly Oowen on Vimeo. Hypercube #3 from Oilly Oowen on Vimeo. My recent fascination with video art continues. I’m posting the Hypercube series by Allison Holt. Her work is incredibly elegant and created with Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) equipment, polyester resin, and light.

As a writer, I’m constantly advised to “write what I know”. Yet, this depends on whether I’m courageous enough to share my story.

One of the coolest things EVER…I got quoted in the Huffington Post (HP)! I know. Not a big deal to some folks that are probably accustomed to this on a daily basis but to someone like me, it’s pretty exciting. It also reminds me, I need to watch what I say. Ha ha. Seriously.
