the political is implicit
as artists we can become the light
that's in this world
light is between us
participate in light
acute availability
pedagogy
art as light in darkness
art that needs to be made
you can make your own body
the light in the darkness
not abstraction
the body
offer something 
that's real
when your life and your work
becomes the same thing
defining moment
when that happens
you'll never forget
all the senses
have a developed form
those forms
are yours


-this was after richard tuttle's epigrams, talking. i see from the actual epigram text mine are not precisely the same. i will leave them as they came from my pen writing in the dark. 

after we went next door and i talked to him. i sometimes fall down in shyness but i felt before seeing his artworks some elemental directness, some tangible almost metaphysical affinity. 
and i forgot to tell him that some time after seeing that show long ago in went in a room like he does and made things without considering anything outside, and what a gift it was.
and i told him i used to make art, but now i walked dogs and made this strange diary, and that's when my life and my work became the same thing.
and he told me about his dog that died, and he held his side, and then he said, holding his side, like he was receiving from his dog inside, my dog said that you are a very nice person.
so i gave him this address and left.
