Here’s a look of what I’ve got coming for my February paper cutting exhibit at Crosstown Station in Kansas City. Inspired by the Rorschach psychological ink blot tests. I’ve got to get my hands on a translation of a book by Justinus Kerner from 1857. Titled “Kleksographien” – it’s a collection of poems, each inspired by an accidental ink blot. You can download it here but it’s in german. Verdammen!

Of the 8+ years I lived in NYC, I never once crossed the Brooklyn Bridge on foot. I have, however, torn across it in a little black Beetle, missing my exit more than once. Little bit frustrating ending up in downtown Manhattan traffic instead of on the FDR North when you’re trying to get to 96th Street. It didn’t take me long to figure out my way around the city after I got there. Getting lost is seemingly the best way to learn.
