Memorial Day

Happy Memorial day. I spent the past weekend at the pool in Waterford Va. and a barbecue at the house. The impromptu memorial is made from my dad's flag and 2nd. Div. Marine corp uniform from WWII with Puerto Rican flag in honor of my PR friend Edme who was in town for a visit. Great time. My attention is now focused on my trip south to Pensacola Fl. (Griff, Erin and girls see you soon.) Also on the itinerary is a visit to Charleston SC and visit to my friends Amy, Ryan and Liam's beautiful house.

See you on the road!

She said it best.

I was just reading the Independent and Tracy Emin's column. We inhabit different stratospheres of the art world and her trip she describes has been further then mine in more then one way but I still feel very much the way she describes in her latest column. Both in London and back home I have had the feeling of trying to catch up with myself. All my lists of things to do both in London and back home have sort of evaporated. I think maybe a trip to Pensacola Fla. and looking at the ocean and bleached white sand could help.

Back Home - Unpacking

I was so busy in London I never got a chance to post. I was up at 8 am and in at 11pm. I'm still metaphorically unpacking the whole trip. London was overload for all things art. Art and artistic sensibilities appeared to be in every corner that you looked. I felt you really didn't need to go looking for the most current exhibit as you would find something more interesting on the way. I did for this trip visit the more established venues in London and was astonished by the depth of collections at the British Museum, National Gallery, Tate Modern. The objects I saw at the British museum of ancient antiquities was overwhelming. Amazing to see the depths of artistic creativity across the world and through time. A great tribute to the British for preserving it and making it so accesible to the public. As I unpack this trip I will add more posts about London and we will see how it affects upcoming art from my own humble endeavors.

London

I've arrived in Hackney - London and will be posting from here for the next two weeks or so.
