Miksang and flow

August 26, 2010

In an eMail Alan Magayne-Roshak said of my August 24th blog post, “I love it. It’s easy to get lost in it (in a good way). This reminds me of a David Vestal column where he quoted Picasso as saying, “I don’t seek, I find.” ( The column is at home; I hope I got it […]

Searching for the never before seen (in this way)

August 24, 2010

We look at so many photographs on the web, on the backs of our little digicams or phones and in print.

In his portfolio catalog Nathaniel describes it as mild steel, fire scale and beeswax finish, diameter: 36” height: 48”. The wax lamp shades have each taken on its own subtly different shape from the heat of the electric […]

Draw (still) life in — to truly see it

August 8, 2010
