Two years ago, I started doing IT IN place while it snowed on Christo’s gates. Two years later, and New York is again blanketed in snow. In a much stranger fluke, the swatches of orange fabric they gave out two years ago are the exact same size as the chess board on the cover of “The Golden Treasury of Chess” that I was collaging with yesterday. It seems like a sign, but of what I’m not sure.

Shot a bit of video at the last night of Doug Aitken’s “Sleepwalkers” at Moma. I’d been meaning to get over there since the startof the run, but got distracted by the cold snap. The collage is a book start for The Library. The Mathematics of Flowers.

starts for the Library in which I was thinking of Patty Smith singing “Jesus died for somebody’s sin, but not mine” and the general alchemy of alcohol.

The animation is a finish of Brian Raszka Start for The Library. The alchemy of chocolate is my start (using one of Brian’s collage bits) for the same.

here’s a couple of finishes of Brian Raszka Starts for The Library.
