Call of Attrition

When a mobile phone call drops out, the ensuing attempts to call each other back on both sides results in endless straight-to-voicemail calls, engaged signals, more dropouts... it's just useless.

Adapted from the term "war of attrition", in which both forces wear each other down over a long period of time, resulting in little success for either.
Nick just dropped out; I'm trying to get ahold of him for the fourth time, but it's just a call of attrition at the moment.

Fetus Attraction

Interpersonal Attraction

The study of why people are attracted to each other and how is attraction built.
Not every man and woman may be physically attracted to each other but there is a possibility that interpersonal attraction (their personality) can be attractive between each other.

With interpersonal attraction, it is the personality that we may or may not find attractive. It is the personality that is being judged.

Interpersonal attraction can be built and maintained.

unrequited drunk attraction

When you're attracted to someone whilst both or at least one of you are drunk, and you almost hook up but don't for one reason or another, unrequited drunk attraction is when you still feel that underlying attraction towards said person even after the alcohol has drained out of your liver. AKA, the next day, week, month, etc.
Patti: I'm not interested in him, I still just really want to hook up with him ever since that night when we were so wasted and he wanted to hook up with me but we got interrupted...
Andrea: That must be a case of unrequited drunk attraction.

lyrical abstraction

Lyrical Abstraction in painting is an opening to personal expression. The term was originally coined by Larry Aldrich 1; other sources sustain that it was Jean José Marchand and Georges Mathieu who first used the term Abstraction Lyrique in 1947 in Paris. The name "Tachisme" is sometimes used to describe this movement.

Some notable painters "inspired" in this "style" are: Wassily Kandinsky considered one of the fathers of abstraction, Paul Klee, Frank Kupka, Robert Delaunay, Mordecai Ardon, Norman Bluhm, Jean René Bazaine, Hans Hartung, Wols, Max Bill, Gunther Gerzso, Huguette Arthur Bertrand, Georges Mathieu, Jean Miotte, Ronnie Landfield and Stefan Fiedorowicz.

The emotion in my work comes from somewhere deep down, and can speak to the inner part of each person... My work is intuitive; colour is the language that I use to express an emotion. It is the interaction of colour that interests me. Stefan Fiedorowicz.
Stefan Fiedorowicz

I am a colourist who has followed the lyrical abstraction movement and I use color to convey something personal and internal... Why I choose certain objects to paint and how I illustrate them is a mystery to me. I do not think about it too much. Certain objects are close to me because of what they mean to me or what they look like, their shape. I simplify them and sometimes combine them into pleasing arrangements. I like working over the canvas surface over and over again because most of the time I am not sure of what I want, especially my abstracts done with thick colourful oils and wall scrapers. 1
