I was just picking up books here and there, making new piles out of old, and found that most of the books had little slips of paper stuck in throughout. You know, those little scraps you tear off the end … Continue reading

time warp
The last post here, the work “ice . rock . drop“, took a few attempts to get right (the work, not the post). As larger stones pitched over (hitting the pavement and missing the water altogether) or sank into the … Continue reading
