Cecilia Paredes was born in Lima, Peru, and lives and works in San Jose and Philadelphia, United States. Her recent photographic work is a conspicuous exploration of sensual surfaces in which the body is deliberately confused with nature and nature with the body. Paredes' photography demonstrates that the body of the woman - her own body - is a sacred zone, not profane, to restore its perception as something miraculous amidst the technological chaos that currently surrounds us. The body is revealed as a tool, a space for signs, and a creation that is intimately connected to our surrounding natural environments.

The flower that smells the sweetest is shy and lowly.

The gals put it between their knees and it wasn’t that costly.” In case your not completely clear on Satorum's view on contraception: Santorum has said that he is "not a believer in birth control" and believes it is "harmful" to both women and society.  And in October, Santorum discussed the "dangers" of contraception with an evangelical blog. "Many in the Christian faith have said, 'Well, that's okay. Contraception's okay," he said. "It...

On any given day

I wake up with one face. Fall asleep with another. I love faces. I always have. Most of the art in my home is a face of some sort.  Abstract, pop, outsider, or straight up real - I find them easy to live with and good company.     How about you?     A poem by Rainer Maria Rilke   Buddha In Glory     Center of all centers, core of cores, almond self-enclosed, and growing sweet-- all this universe, to the furthest stars all beyond them, is your flesh, your fruit. Now you feel how nothing clings to you; your vast shell reaches into endless space, and there the rich, thick fluids rise and flow. Illuminated in your infinite peace, a billion stars go spinning through the night, blazing high above your head...
