1) Would you rather be transported 200 years into the past or future?
Well, with knowledge of the future, I could take advantage of the past... but as a woman? Maybe not so much. Let's go to the future! Smoggy, as it may be.
2) If computer games, when given the choice, do you always play a character with you gender?
I don't play computer games, at all, but if I did, and the choice existed to play an interesting female character, i would.
3) Will society as we know it still exist in 100 years?
I ask myself this question all the time. i am torn between pessimism, optimism and cynicism. Too many ism's. I need a nap.
I think we require a drastic change to adapt and thrive. We may not accept that change. I see us surviving, but perhaps not doing as well as we could have had we tried harder.
4) Will humans, as a whole, be better or worse off in 100 years?
Hmm... A hard one. How large are our iPad screens 100 years from now?
5) Do you have any simple rules for your day to day life? (for example if I'm ordering a beer and there's one on the list I don't know I have to order it)
I always like to try new things. I feel as if I am cataloguing flavours. But I have one rule. ONE.
I have to make my bed.
Even if I'm running late. Even if the rest of my place is a disaster. It has to be done. And, I cannot sleep in an unmade bed.
6) Is it easy to be happy?
No. It is very difficult to locate enough kittens to fill a vat, and then not crush them while diving in.
7) Do you actively work toward your "perfect" version of your life?
I am still working on sourcing the kittens, and the vat, if that's what you mean.
8) Could you eat dead people (who had given their consent while living) to survive a disaster?
This depends. I'm a vegetarian, are there mosses around? Lichen?
If not... well, do I have a sauce of some kind? Maybe a rub?
9) Favourite kind of pizza?
Margherita, like a proper Margherita. I had some today. It was delicious. I wish I was eating it right now.
10) Are farts funny?
Am I in an elevator? Then no. Otherwise: Yes.

The Master's
Some massive changes.
I just moved from one city to another to attend grad school. Class begins next week. I am terribly nervous but really excited!
It's a six-person studio program, and so it was a honour to get in, it's also incredibly intense.
After a couple of emotional days I have settled into my new place very well. After the scary car ride, the cats seem to be doing just fine.
I'm excited about having the dedicated time to further my work and the discussions and writing on theory that will add to my practice.
I wish I had more to add than EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
But that really sums it up.
Meanwhile...
I suppose now would be a good time for an update.
Thank you limnides (https://www.deviantart.com/limnides) and arctoa (https://www.deviantart.com/arctoa) for the feature!
I haven't been blogging because most of my words now go into correspondence and book-writing.
I have made a few books before, but they were the kind with pictures, and so it was easier to fill a lot of pages. This is a little more demanding, words are tiny. You need so many of them!
I have also just finished applying for a Masters of Fine Art at my top two Universities. Now I wait, and slowly tear my cuticles off.
It passes the time.
All the while working retail, you know, keeping it real, surviving, paying for my costly photograp
I'M IN A SHOW. COME TO IT.
Oh, HELLO THERE.
You seem to have caught me off guard, I've just been so distracted and busy of late. Like today, when I counted out over 1000 individual sheets of paper because I work in a fancy paper store and we are doing inventory.
I might have cracked a little with the strain.
The eye strain, mostly. Counting doesn't make for a lot of mental strain.
ANYWAY, I have also been doing other things, things like preparing for a show. A show that is suddenly next week.
COME TO THIS SHOW.
If you do come, and you would like to say hi, I will be the one in the middle of a group of very tall people (because I asked that my friends hide me, an
Oh, hello there
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear...
It has been some time!
And what have I to show for it? A few more inches of hair length.
I've also been writing a text-only book, making an image-book, photographing people, and working full time. It's retail, mind you, but it allows me to be a bit creative while funding my projects and steady supply of frozen vegan burritos.
You can even witness my self-promotion in this here workplace blog http://www.thepaperplace.ca/wp/
I am the worst.
In other news, one of the books I've been working on stalled, because it's an upsetting kind of book (do I make any other kind? No. But this one is a bit too soon) but work

Woooooo! Now I know all about you. There is nothing else to know.
I think you should make this your artist statement at your next show. It's much more fun than those boring normal ones. "Julia plays with expectations of reality vs expectations of the now and the was. Julia finds the hyper-texutal pastiche of multi-symbolism to be, like, you know, rad."
