The things are back where they came from now, only red. There’s a nasty hierarchy now among my things. The painted things indicate the nakedness of all the other things. Are the red things fake, or are they the only things that are real, because they acknowledge themselves? They look smug about it.

I made this today. It’s been a day off. There was a street party going on outside, with egg and spoon races and a quiz.

A number of practising artists came along and talked about how they use their studios, and many of them didn’t feel the space of the studio presented any specific problems. Read the rest of this entry »
