The Glove Is Finally Gone

Some eight months later, building maintenance finally removed it from the awning.  Now I actually feel kind of wistful, having grown used to checking up on it every time I go out.

Another Glove

THE SUBJECT OF "THE OBJECT"

My creative writing teacher once said that in writing fiction 'what' you say is not as important as 'how' you say it.  I believe the same rule applies in visual arts as well.  Grand topics and universal themes are great, they have their roles, but one of my favorite things to do is to take humble, common things in everyday life - little trivialities noticed by no one else but me - and modify or present them in ways that imbue them with special significance - or "dignity", as I call it.
