Morning
Today the breeze is playful and cool, pushes me out of bed, teases me out of my sluggishness – it was a long night of paying attention to good friendship, while L was in surgery. My liver was talking all night long. It went well, Kate writes, he is resting now. I’m in first coffee […]
You too can own a painting
Ah, the ever-changing dynamics of the ecosystem shared by Art and the Internet. This has come up in every peer conversation, every artist statement, proposal and grant application I’ve written this month. Think I’ll write an essay about it & post it here. But this is not my purpose right now. I’ve been doing some […]
#Selfie 17: new moon
It’s been a week since the morning after #Selfie’s opening at Gallery de Boer. That was such a profoundly good time, rich with love and excellence, risk and joy. We all of us had about an inch of air beneath our feet as we walked through the space and played together on the roof afterwards. […]

I must say, my initial resistance has been a challenge to overcome – I DO so resist, especially when reading articles like this one by James Franco (The Meanings of the Selfie, New York Times, December 2013) who rationalizes his recently acquired […]
#Selfie 1: Right then.
Leafs and St Louis Blues are skating like mad 2.5 feet above my head, with a soundtrack announcer who could clearly like the Leafs to tie it up & stay in the game. 2nd period, 13 minutes to go. I’m writing in a local bar so I can get some distance from the #Selfie project that so […]
