So, I reconvene with myself, many months after my last flurry of writing in a regular way. In the mean time I have read many papers, written one, attempted starts at a whole lot of others, been to Europe, changed my mind, become more confused, become less confused. ‘Putamen’ is a good word. I had [...]
“I think I’m getting frustrated with the ooga-booga world of free wacky zany do-whatever-you-want improvisation”.
There was no moment of truth People did not come running Crowds did not form Clouds did not form Souls were not searched Monumental efforts were not undertaken The heavens did not open Moses, who I like to think of as Charlton Heston, did not open wide his arms The Red Sea did not part [...]

I continue my list fetish, including reading a great interview with Umberto Eco on the occasion of his curation of a new exhibition at the Louvre. I am mucking about with taxonomy concepts. ‘We have a limit, a very discouraging, humiliating limit: death. That’s why we like all the things that we assume have no [...]
Another session with Sally. We explore similar material to last time: some work with eyes closed, followed by ‘fishtailing’, followed by ‘infant eyes’ or ‘eyes as limb’.
