Extremely tasty Richard Tuttle ‘Small Sculptures from the 1970s’ — precision with zero artifice, they are disarmingly complex, simple objects.

Small sculpture made from 1/2” molding painted white.

I seem to have purchased an excessive amount of curtains at auction. The fabric is by Collier Campbell. DM if interested. In very good condition.

Halfway through this complexly operating critical writing project by Alice.

Photo of a book cover — the title is Close Writing. It’s by Alice Butler and is a response to the writing of Kathy Acker and Cookie Mueller.

Beach reading. Thoroughly enjoyed this, although I think it’s a very ‘mid-life’ book which hasn’t been discussed by reviewers. Not a negative but contributes to how Lerner engages with memory.

Very excited to spot a new bird in the tree today — not quite sure what it was — quite large, brown / beige with whiteish spots ?
