Amazing Alaskan Image Archive

Here. (According to FB, if I were a U.S. state, I would be Alaska. Huh.) The rocks are gold nuggets. The garment is a fish skin frock made by Eskimo. The moose speak for themselves.

Beuysland.

The Essential Beuys, the one w/ the "fat chair" on its cover, was a majorly influential book for me.

New poem, for my father, from book-in-progress (still!) DIARIES FROM THE DESERT

The Drive Home


Mottled, strange spaces in between the pisses of rain—
odd how death can creep
into every dullish nook, every sleepy zag.
Well, Daddy’s drivin’
& I’m in the backseat soaked to the skin,

the red dye from my Chinese cloth shoes
bleedin’ my white socks pink. It is twenty-some years
ago, after the airshow.
My brother’s ridin’ shotgun ‘cos my mouth
is just not quick enough ever to claim it for mine.

Beyond all other disappointments
(the ruined shoes, the missin’ Mutter),
there is still the solace of the Rabbit’s warm engine
& its reliable vinyl dryness &
my father in front of me, a stout & military man—

Bandage Knits

It's summer, but I'd like to wear this big sweater bandage when it gets colder. From Luna, an Australian company.

It owls me.

Hanna Michaelsson does interesting things w/ textiles. I feel a bit like that white owl in shock today.

Rainy day outfit.

My high-waisted black pants, which tie with a bow at the waist, are very similar. Via.

Baz Luhrmann?

Via.

Fresh Asphalt at Satori Gallery

Ethan's painting, "No Now," in a new group show. Good work, tiny E.

Beacons of Ancestorship.

Oooooh... Totally loving the new TORTOISE album. Thanks, K.

Put my sheepskin and a pillow down on the floor last night and started the big drawing on water color paper. It's very meditative, and I always enjoyed making a sensitive line. After this, I think I'll do a large doughy warrior mural on the off-white drawing paper.

It has been a really good week. We're having a bbq during volleyball today, and tomorrow I am going to the MoMA.

"That's because you are growing, my dear."

Dome sweet dome.

Driving down Province Line today, I noticed a geodesic dome on Princeton Pike that I must have driven past a zillion times and never noticed. It's just sitting unassumingly on a major road, partially obscured by some trees. Hello, dome!

This is not it, but it's a nice one as well.

Pool Love

I got my sister and her husband a Robert Polidori book when they got married. Here is a photo of his for Vanity Fair. Apparently, this is where Julian Schnabel swims. Woo. We care?
