When I was 15 I put visiting Jim Morrisons grave in Pere Lachaise cemetery on my ‘to do’ list…I did, and it didn’t disappoint. Yet I still rolled my eyes when told I was visiting Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, New York this spring….and guess what, it didn’t disappoint.

Cemeteries just ARE incredibly picturesque. I mean just take in for a minute how the bronze doors of this mausoleum have washed and stained the marble steps a patina green.

And of course finding a Twombly, is always up my alley…(he was a Vanderbilt after all)

Am I Canadian or what?…and I think I’m in love again, its that darn ‘barn’ thing…

You cannot erect a ‘stained glass barn’ comprised of burnt sugar, call it art, and expect me to look the other way William Lamson whoever you are.

Well I know you are a young Brooklyn artist, and I know I am a fan! I just adored your installation at the Storm King Art Center during my recent visit. I think it’s completely genius!

…and your ‘Last Light‘ installation…an ‘attempt to capture that ephemeral light of early summer‘…oh my goodness. I’ve got my eye on you…and I know I’m not alone.
