Wanting Less
Eleven empty easels sit in a room without
abstract paintings or collages. Let's be
this large empty room painted white
with a shellacked wooden floor. A room
of silence, naked and wanton. A life
without more hiatus. That moment of
vacuum, timeless. Let's be
rivers that run through the middle of houses.
Upwards light buoys us
to surge through cities of clouds, a place
never dreamed, realms of noble terror
and delight where we become brushstrokes.

Diner with Maria Sivak.
We talked about art, inspiration and process. During the dinner with Maria: boat journey metaphor suite case as metaphor. She believes an object has the power to contain memory. She found a suite case one day. She was going to give it away to good will but found that she could not. She put it in the closet.
God...why is it so slow to write about this wonderful conversation. I wish that I had record this. I want to buy a microphone for my minidisc.
She got me to think more about my project. I casual made origami abstract piece which I kept with me for a long time...then I photographed it one day out of the need to tinker. And now begins an obsession with the object.

Hey Duc,
Did you get him to sign your book? Hope the line didn't take too long. I should have been a poet. You could tell a lot of the women wanted him, even though he was old. Ha ha, you know it was true. Like in that movie Wonderboys with Michael Douglas.
I do want to read some of his poems now, they were pretty cool.
Yeah we could go hiking Sunday, I am not busy.

Duc,
Could you describe the nature of the "now & zen" show? What sort of
things are you looking for...I could make a stab at it based on the
title but I thought I'd ask you first. I'm hoping to shoot fresh images
for the show.
Stephen
Hm...most of the work I'm selecting is very abstract. The color is mostly muted tones. Maria Sivak said that she draws her work in one concentrated sitting with out making any corrections and without any specific intent other then the concentration. I thought this was a good idea. I myself will have images that are mostly white and the nature of the work is quiet and meditative.

A review by Ann Ellenbecker
Hermit in Paris takes the reader on a journey through the life
of a fascinating author. For fans of Italo Calvino, this collection
of twelve essays will reacquaint readers with the ideas and thoughts
of the man behind the writing. Yet, the vast scope of topics will
entertain those new to his world, as well.
The bulk of the book consists of the previously unreleased "American
Diary," an essay rich in historical and cultural observations
about the United States in 1959. Traveling from New York through
the Midwest to the West Coast and back east through the South,
Calvino saw as much of the country as he could during his tour.
He experienced the gamut of suburban life, urban architecture,
small-town taverns, the Pacific coastline, and everything in between.
All are portrayed with the wit, charm, and understatement for
which Calvino is famous.
The collection is rounded off with eleven other essays (previously
published in Italian). Note, however, that the word "essay" should
be taken rather loosely, as some are transcribed conversations.
Others are letters and anecdotes of travels and writing. Whatever
the form, each of the pieces covers an amazing amount of territory:
Calvino's been a member of the Communist party and fought with
the partisans in WWII during the German occupation of Italy. He
met with Martin Luther King, Jr. while visiting Montgomery, Alabama
during the race riots. And, he's been wined, dined, and shunned
by the social elite. In the eponymous essay -- a real treat --
the author tackles fundamental questions of being and isolation.
Feeling as much a tourist in Paris as he is in his own thoughts,
he toys with the desire to be invisible yet immersed.
In these essays, as in his other writing, Calvino's observations
go beyond the surface and delve deep into the human experience.
He can see in the dark. Astute, political, and urbane, Calvino
is much more than a novelist; he's a philosopher of modern-day
questions. Hermit in Paris proves an essential addition to any
Calvino library....

beautiful painting!!! will you miss it? sometimes i have mixed feeling when
a painting sells, if i'm not quite ready to let it go yet, but for the most
part it's really great.

i noticed that you were in the asian journal two weeks in a row, for both
shows you are in. that's good!!!
