I began this blog at the beginning of 2010 as a kind of thinkdump for the process of being an artist and how it differs radically from my intentions, how domestic reality constantly interferes with the creative. In writing this blog I am trying to embrace these interstitial episodes as being the creative.

Endgame (1957)

Nell: Nothing is funnier than unhappiness.
Nagg: Oh?
Nell: Yes, yes, it's the most comical thing in the world. And we laugh, we laugh, with a will, in the beginning. But it's always the same thing. Yes, it's like the funny story we have heard too often, we still find it funny, but we don't laugh any more.

tulips



My mother sometimes drew or painted.
It was a random activity, some creative impulse that needed an outlet; she was generally too crazy in later years to really concentrate on anything sustained, though she still knitted socks, thick woollen bedsocks in garish colours.
She was excellent at handwork, stitching and knitting shen she was young.
