Jeez, I hit the send button instead of the paste button. woops. None too soon, say the poor readers. Well, never mind. I was almost done anyway. Thinking about matter, cause I'm just finishing (dammit I hope) a 52 foot long tile relief generated by a process of pressing plant matter into 1in thick clay and then firing it. The deadline is like next week and I have about 20 kilnloads still to fire , and I'm still trying to get the firing protocols just right, while running 10 miles back and forth across town from home to studio, trying to get the kids' homework done, tuck them in , etc., trying to tell myself it's ok to leave a couple kids alone at midnight while I go dick around with the kiln. The tiles are quite lovely though, I think-- AK
