Yes. More rocks. Geodes, to be specific. Clearly I cannot get enough of these little wonders of nature, and so when I saw these paintings by\u00a0Cecelia Phillips<\/a> I knew I’d be writing about them. What I love almost<\/em> as much as her work, is her explanation for why she paints these amazing objects:<\/p>\n

“I kind of believe in fate. <\/em><\/div>\n

Several months ago I met a woman who was straightening my hair. It happened to be her birthday, and she happened to tell me that she was going hunting for geodes to celebrate.
\nNo shit, I said. I’ll make you a geode painting as a present.
\nAs I began to explore the subject matter of a geode, I realized that they embody a lot of who I am and what I believe in artistically – a little bit of kitsch, a smidge of bling, a little crusty on the outside and gleaming from within. They are worlds within themselves, private galaxies of color and space, and I love to paint them.\u00a0Moreover, they are secret, hidden from the rest of the world, just waiting for a inquisitive and creative person to crack them open. I share these with you in the hopes that you are such a kindred spirit passing by on chance.”<\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
