“Intuition will indicate when something is not acceptable, even though it might work. That it works is not necessarily enough. It can be acceptable, but something more is needed. The fine line is that it is either junk, or art materials, or, it is a piece of work.” —John Chamberlain
In the wake of life feeling just a little too much like I’m the ball in a pinball machine, I’m keeping this quite short today. I’ve been bouncing back and forth between work and my sister’s new fixer-upper (putting a couple of personal projects on hold to help her and her kiddos move in as fast as possible) and the entire process—let’s say even the entire eight or nine months—has helped to really instill what it means to be patient and to go with the flow. That’s not to say it’s always easy, but it sheds light on priorities and directions forward, and that’s always useful information.
On an aside, I just started listening to The Imperfects podcast, and I love it. I could use some recommendations! Give me a shout in a reply to this email if you have a favorite pod at the moment.
On a more art-related note, though, I just wrote an article for Colossal about a Smarthistory video parsing some of the themes and symbols of Hieronymus Bosch’s The Garden of Earthly Delights. While it’s not the first time I’ve stumbled across the platform, it had been a while, and it’s worth shouting to the rooftop that Smarthistory is amazing! They’re working with scholars to make art history accessible for everyone.
See you next week.
