HOUSES
R
Just
H
only when they are not.
Your job: what does the H look like? On your own blog under the title "HOUSE" I want you to post a picture or link to a picture. Then write a paragraph where you explain why you chose that particular image (since this is about a house that expands and contracts in a way that defies rationale thought, you might want to be a bit creative here). I then want you to find a paragraph in the book (or a couple of lines) that you quote that gave you the inspiration for your image.

The reason I chose this image was for the sole fact that it is Marcel Duchamp's "Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2" instills an aspect of a home, like stairs, but in an erratic pose & context. We also have a person walking up or down the stairs, but you cant tell what the damned thing is or was. The jumbling of the artwork begs the question of where does it begin & where does it end, like a house that is constantly changing. How do you know the start of it or the end of it?

nice job and I'm glad you didn't use Duchamp's toilet bowl piece......
This picture looks like it fits the description perfectly, you could lost for days trying to find the end to that piece.
Damn I wish I could have thought of it...I am jealous!
Good post. While the art is erratic, the figures are erratic, the architecture is erratic, and it begs the questions, is there any sort of architecture in the house, in the characters, or even the typography in the book. Also when I read your post, I immediately thought of this:
