mean little places : an ongoing winter project
more here
this is about all i’m good for lately. messing around with pictures of badLooking stuff. and sitting in the office. and reading and sleeping. i don’t feel very writish lately, or very artish either - although i am thinking a LOT - about art, and all kinds of etc. - but words don’t quite flow here. don’t worry. i’m sure i will be prolific again soon. maybe when the sap starts running? i’m in one of those sleepy periods, with heavy sleep and dense dreams. often i feel disoriented until about 10am. i’m in a new office this week. that doesn’t help. i want to sew. but the idea of digging out boxes of fabrics is so exhausting. i guess i’ll go make another book…i’ve decided they are legitimate work after all.
onward.

An artist without regular crises of confidence isn’t a real artist, but that doesn’t really help when you’re right in the middle of one, does it. Just to say that I love your meanlittleplaces-series. The photos have a strange quality because of the seeming desertion of those places, there is such a strong sense of stasis, of suspense, of waiting for something that will never happen, of resignation. That’s good, but what really makes the photos is that they seem to me like memories of places and states of mind, of something left behind, maybe for good, maybe for something better, maybe not, places with an emotional investment. In me memory rises as still images, esp. childhood memories, and I see something of this here. Thank you.
