Archives #1


On the subject of archives (see last post) I had to go through a whole pile of old slides this week in preparation for a lecture in Seattle. I found so many paintings I had almost forgotten about. Here's a look back. Tropical Fruit Palace, 2000

Tapes and Tapes (and Tapes)


My father had a reel-to-reel recorder that he used in the 1950s and '60s to tape music and family milestones. Here's a photo of his work in the basement. Some of these reels are labeled and some are not. Wilson and I have started to make digital archives of them, but we don't have enough time to do it properly. I am not sure anybody has the time or interest to listen to them anyway. This has caused me to think more carefully about how I document my own life.
