circling prey ...


lakes + layers + louvre + ladders .

dreaming last night,
of art ...
i’ve had the good fortune of being in the presence of some of the most beautiful, profound, and evocative art ever made ...
actually able to touch some [most] of the works ...
[maybe a sacrilege, but my pisces duality is tactile and cerebral]
and to meet some of the artists - share thoughts,
be in their studios - the inner sanctum,
galleries, churches, castles, ruins, and museums ...
pottery from babylon,pueblo bonita,machu picchu, pyramids - statues from ramses temple, winged victory, pieta, parthenon - caves of lascaux, chartres cathedral, notre dame, sagrada familia, sevilla, roof of the world trade center, getty museum, frescoes and canvases - giotto, da vinci, ruebens, tiepolo, raphael, dali, picasso, miro, pollock, twombly, kiefer, van eyck, ...

i’ve also met some of the cruelest and mean-spirited people cloaked in benevolence for the arts ...
