The carnage after I finally let go in the studio today. Had an overdue meeting with my mentor on Saturday who kicked my butt (make.more.things!!! /stop tightly controlling /expand your color palette / stop trying to make 'good paintings' / stop relying on what comes naturally...) feel like today marked some corner-turning and an actual commitment to put in the hours. (Can't wait for the real back-yard studio to be finished this winter as I'm outgrowing this tiny room in my house!)

What College Can’t Do - The New Yorker

"Colleges aren’t monasteries. They can’t give their students spiritual sustenance; they can’t provide an escape from modernity. And they shouldn’t be faulted, or punished, for that."

Very interesting: the intersection of art, life and labor. Paying the unemployed for their labor as an art 'performance' to bring attention to the unemployment crises?

We listen to the big man teach himself ‘Pulaski at night’ by Andrew Bird

…I knew this anyway: that my wish, indeed my continuing passion, would be not to point the finger in judgment but to part a curtain, that invisible shadow that falls between people, the veil of indifference to each other's presence, each other's wonder, each other's human plight.
