[sketchbook] the latitudes of desire
just posted some new work, that's inspired by this poem "The Latitudes of Desire," & lots more. notice how the pages of my copy of Sparks from a Nine Pound Hammer are stained with wine, which show the love I have for this book, which I showed the poet, Steve Scafidi, when I met him at dinner & he signed it at a poetry reading a couple years ago.
& lucky that James Lewis Tucker of The Aesthetic Union & I are in collaboration talks, about the colors & the color blue (& all the other things that stem from that hue), which also inspired the new work & more + is leading up to amazing collaboration action.
more soon, ❤️
