We at once seek connection with the mystery and freedom of the natural world, yet we continually strive to tame the wild around us and compulsively control the wild within our own nature. Within my work I examine the primal issues of comfort and fear, dependence and determination, submission and dominance that play out in the physical and psychological encounters between man and the natural world. Increasingly, these encounters take place within the artificial ecotones we have constructed that act as both passage and barrier between domestic space and the wild.”</span></p> </blockquote>http://sunnyshao.tumblr.com/post/50860126546http://sunnyshao.tumblr.com/post/50860126546Sun, 19 May 2013 16:04:58 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/e7508a6e48eb09ca6d0ff0ff8297aae4/tumblr_mn248noV5T1qczjobo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://birch.co/post/50835054965/so-a-new-era-begins-for-tumblr">marksbirch</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>So, a new era begins for Tumblr…</p> </blockquote>http://sunnyshao.tumblr.com/post/50859936606http://sunnyshao.tumblr.com/post/50859936606Sun, 19 May 2013 16:02:21 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/05dfe0e61db14662fa4c6ecd8e502d32/tumblr_mmt004HzhZ1r72qmwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://sunnyshao.tumblr.com/post/50859530454http://sunnyshao.tumblr.com/post/50859530454Sun, 19 May 2013 15:56:56 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/8e4eed81e7d2eda7551816248d4d23fa/tumblr_mn25m9ybfA1qhqrjko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://sunnyshao.tumblr.com/post/50859191728http://sunnyshao.tumblr.com/post/50859191728Sun, 19 May 2013 15:52:19 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/78da6e7b4bbba85fb5c642d9b6cb1fc7/tumblr_mmd1kiw10Z1qaobbko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://sunnyshao.tumblr.com/post/50656488089http://sunnyshao.tumblr.com/post/50656488089Fri, 17 May 2013 08:41:39 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/70bf9ddbe4469e164f79ad7331312fe1/tumblr_mmx94wB65i1rqpa8po1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://exp.lore.com/post/50625483471/this-is-how-humor-works-its-a-conflict-of">explore-blog</a>:</p> <blockquote> <blockquote> <p><em>This is how humor works: It’s a conflict of synergies — we mashup these things that don’t belong together that temporarily exist in out minds.</em></p> </blockquote> <p>A TED salon curated by <a href="http://twitter.com/HelenWalters">Helen Walters</a>, titled “Design Is Everywhere,” <em>New Yorker </em>cartoons editor <strong>Bob Mankoff</strong> illustrates his theory of humor with his most famous cartoon, which juxtaposes the syntax of politeness with the content of rudeness.</p> <p>He also notes that the magazine calls cartoons “idea drawings” because an idea drawing “it requires thinking on behalf of cartoonish and thinking on behalf of reader to make it work.”</p> <p>For more illustrative epitomes in action, see <a href="http://www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2012/11/07/the-big-new-yorker-book-of-dogs/"><em>The Big New Yorker Book of Dogs</em></a>.</p> </blockquote>http://sunnyshao.tumblr.com/post/50628961490http://sunnyshao.tumblr.com/post/50628961490Thu, 16 May 2013 20:36:40 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/966ae1d8997df69487c09b7a1de37634/tumblr_mmvf22hcEb1rq1ub1o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>I have no special talents;
