For the first six days of this year, I have been keeping an artist’s notebook in an attempt to catalog things that come my way on a daily basis in an analogue fashion. Yes, there is a digital archives of images, but the text strives to be handwritten except for extensive lists.
Yesterday, I got an e-mail from a friend that thought of me when she saw Kim Abeles’ “A Mile A Minute”
And then this morning, I learned of John Baldessari’s passing and I decided to dig into the archives for an image of his “Dot” works which comes to mind first when I hear his name. Instead, I ended up discovering a Baldessari that I had not seen before and it seems to connect to various aspects of my current practice.
This is Grass. Water Heater, Mouths, etc. (for John Graham)
