today i went for a long walk, then stopped to buy some books. i really wanted an anselm kiefer mono, something i would refer to forever... but instead bought the latest art news, a book called "art & fear", and a philosophy, selected essays of michel foucault; "language, counter-memory, practice". i passed up many other books, of course, quite a few which were more practical.
i am establishing this blog to round out my new series of art pieces, called "palimpsest". i'm naming it after my favorite word, umbra, which has a variety of textured meanings, my favorite of which is the dark accompianment to a physical body. i am going to use html from this source and transfer it to my artwork.
i have been thinking more and more about graduate school, and about the bookmaking residency. this week i am also planning to apply to the artist's market for a solo show, even though i am in rudimentary stages of the palimpsest series, it will be a good practice for me to start answering calls for entries.
