I8 - XUB1 - Tea And The Dimensions of Art

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 8:51 pm

Jennifer got them a table and ordered some tea for the two of them. "So you mentioned branching out in your art. What else have you been doing?"

by **Andre Jacquard** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 8:57 pm

"Well, right now I'm trying my hand at painting."

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 8:59 pm

"How's canvas treating you?"

by **Andre Jacquard** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 9:02 pm

"It's definitely a more flexible medium. There's no wiggle room in weaving."

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 9:06 pm

Jennifer added a little sugar to her tea and then the tea started stirring itself with no spoon while she continued the conversation, "The freedom in painting is nice. I have to admit I haven't tried weaving yet. I'm a little afraid of it."

by **Andre Jacquard** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 9:09 pm

"I can't blame you. It's a lot of work," he said as he stirred sugar into his own cup.

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 9:15 pm

"It's just weird for me. I'm usually so eager to try out different art mediums. One of these days I'll get over it and give it a try."

by **Andre Jacquard** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 9:16 pm

"So what is it you do, art-wise?"

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 9:22 pm

"Sculpture, mostly working in clay because it's more forgiving than stone. And the occasional bit of charcoal or pencil drawing. I've done other things, but those are the ones I usually go back to."

"I'd love to see some of it sometime."

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 12:05 pm

She sipped at her tea, "I'd be happy to show it to you sometime. So what are you majoring in?"

by **Andre Jacquard** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 12:59 pm

"Astrophysics, actually," he answered.

... or was that Art History?

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 1:02 pm

"Oh," said Jennifer, trying to hide her surprise. "That's... unusual."

by **Andre Jacquard** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 1:13 pm

"Studying the nature of our universe and those beyond... makes my ability a little less frightening. And, well, the... unique... insight it provides could help unravel the mysteries still unsolved," he said. "Maybe I'll burn out on it, I don't know... but it's worth a shot right?"

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 1:38 pm

"Anything that helps you. I'm sorry, I was just a little surprised. Art and astrophysics don't tend to cross paths in my experience."

by **Andre Jacquard** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 2:36 pm

"Consider, for a moment, the raw beauty of the cosmos. Seems to me that, if there is a God, he's most certainly an artist."

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 2:40 pm

"I guess I hadn't really thought about it that way," she said, smiling at him.

by **Andre Jacquard** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 2:56 pm

"For every ugly thing in existence there is something equally as beautiful," he smiled.

Sometimes right in front of you...

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 3:06 pm

She sipped at her tea and then blinked, "Wait, is your last name Jacquard?"

by **Andre Jacquard** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 3:25 pm

"Yes, actually," he answered.

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 3:30 pm

"Your face looked familiar, but I couldn't quite place it. I've seen some of your work." She stopped for a moment, "Well, pictures of it anyway. It's excellent."

by **Andre Jacquard** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 3:44 pm

"Thanks," he smiled humbly with a hint of shyness. He was clearly not a prideful person.

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 4:05 pm

"I'm sure you get hounded about it all the time, so I'll stop now," she said, smiling sweetly.

by **Andre Jacquard** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 5:22 pm

"I did back home. Not so much here."

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 5:41 pm

"So what do you do for fun... besides art?"

by **Andre Jacquard** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 5:50 pm

"Well... I like mystery novels."

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 6:05 pm

"Any particular author or just mystery novels in general?" She put her elbows on the table and leaned on her hands as she talked.

by **Andre Jacquard** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 6:20 pm

"I like Christie and Doyle best."

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 6:21 pm

"A classics man then." Her tea continued to slowly stir, even though she wasn't looking at it.

by **Andre Jacquard** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 6:29 pm

"So... telekinetic?"

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 6:34 pm

She looked down at her tea, "Oh, I'm sorry. No. Hydrokinetic." The tea slowed down and stopped moving altogether.

by **Andre Jacquard** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 6:44 pm

"Don't stop using your gift on my account."

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 6:48 pm

"No, it's okay. Sometimes water just moves around me. It occasionally mirrors my mood or my thoughts. But not all the time."

by **Andre Jacquard** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 6:51 pm

"I'm glad my primary powers don't do that."

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 6:57 pm

"The seeing other places?"

by **Andre Jacquard** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 7:06 pm

"Well, that too... but no. I'm sure you noticed my hands. They can release these... energy strands. The blue is basically strong wire. The red... explodes..."

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 7:11 pm

"Yes, I can see how either of those would be problematic to have happen at any random time."

by **Andre Jacquard** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 7:28 pm

"The blue is better. I get to feel like Spiderman," he chuckled.

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 7:30 pm

"So you go swinging from building to building?" She took on a teasing tone.

by **Andre Jacquard** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 7:32 pm

"I have. Not quite as gracefully of course."
