chemistry

What else could my art look like? One thought I had was : a pixellated computer drawing. Sort of. All those bits. But then last night I was reading Hope Jahren’s “Lab Girl” when I ran across this passage that…

pruning

THUNK! I hear this dull thud as a branch falls on my roof. It’s windy out and the woods are pruning themselves of debris – branches that just aren’t strong enough to withstand the test of this strong a breeze…

who’s to say?

My mind is not as peaceful as a nun’s might be (as in NYT story to follow). I admit that straight up. The evidence (as if needed?) came when I was reading Gean Mareno’s critique of Ugo Rondinone’s Miami Mountain in the…

Here’s the path up this steep hill (snow always looks flat) of my driveway. It’s been warm so it got icy underfoot and I put ashes down for gripping. But it looks … maybe a little dark? Glum? That describes…
