barring all.
baring all :
it's certainly one thing to keep a journal--something that i'd let slip for what were in retrospect my "formative years"--but it's entirely another to keep one so public! anyway. welcome! thanks for reading thus far.
i'm hoping this will be a seriouser blog, charting what (if any) progress i manage to make here in my studio in the next year.
i've just begun reading jean dubuffet's autobiography "biography au pas de course," and have just gotten to the bit where he recounts having abandoned his beret (!!) and long hair for a more pedestrian lifestyle. he develops "la conviction que la création d'art devait s'ancrer dans la vie pratique banale, le chapeau noir fut remplacé par une populiste casquette."
tomorrow, it's off to the abcd-artbrut gallery and the marché aux puces at Montreuil.
à bien tôt!

Hey Jina!
nice blog, I like your masthead. It looks so immediately ominous, then I started reading and was all woozy from the one two smart punch. My eyes fell to the right and I saw it was yours (serious, I came cuz I saw a link on my statometer) and everything came back into focus. powerful stuff.
