for the day

"i do one thing and it matters not a jot if i do the other." ~john wilmot, the libertine

"Modern artists are always putting us at the end of something rather than possibly near the beginning - how many 'post' can we be?

Abstraction has been less a search for the ultimately meaningful than a recurrent push for the temporarily meaningless...... generated precisely from those things that make us individually different and separate - freedom and individualism in the creation of art is an irritant, like so many bits of sand in our shell, which we can choose to work or not into those 'pearls'.....
we have a faith not that we will know something finally, but a faith in not knowing, in ignorance, in our being confounded and dumb-founded, a faith fertile with possible meaning and growth
it has been done. it is being done. and because it can be done, it will be done." - kirk varnedoe, pictures of nothing

"we have nothing better to do with our time then to make fun of the things that some people (once) regard(ed) as truth, beauty, or faith - because we simply have none of our own, and no way of creating it." - me, the other day.
