the a list

 This... is another in a series of small handmade books I've been building. This one is much more free form and blends collage, prints, stickers (yes lovely, lovely stickers - a childhood obsession) and other miscellaneous ingredients. 

   This is... an early version - stanza two - of the application of  automatic poetry  to the  Tao te Ching  stanza two.  I created the font - absurdlyTall-regular - just for this.  

  This is... a collection of various accordion books I've crafted over the past few years. Behind the video is the song "We're In Love - There's the Song (Instrumental)" I recorded in April when I had a bout with omicron BA.2.  The books are mainly filled with handmade print blocks I've created in the same few years.

  In case you were wondering

 As art goes, with the pandemic, my propensity for obsession, and a near death experience as an excuse to relearn the use of my right hand, ALOT. It's good that I opted for small. I've produced well over 1,000 pieces of art - not to mention music, poems, photographs, graphics, and videos since 2019.  My proliferation of expression was bolstered by the isolation of these COVID times. As we near - knock on wood - the transition from pandemic to endemic, I woke up this morning with this thought.  If art, like any form of expression, is communication, am I getting what I want from it?  That's a big question (share first, synthesize later).  I'll label it for future consideration.
