Thanks so much. Will be rereading, in a larger screen so as to see the images better — so much to think about here, especially (for me, in any case) on place and displacement and working one’s way through that with the rigor of art. Really wonderful.
This was fantastic to read, through and through. Attention to landscape, to approaching the page with not knowing--all so real and vital. Thank you for sharing this rich conversation--and introducing me to Mary's work! Beautiful. 💜
Your essay made my morning, Samantha. You so wonderfully captured your interactions with Mary Thompson while skillfully keeping the focus on Mary’s thoughts and techniques around her painting.
This, for me, was like having a front row seat to hear two fascinating artists discuss their art. With Glacis complimenting the presentation in soft, gentle tones. So grateful.
Well said, Samantha. Unlike any I’ve ever heard. Spiritual in the sense I recognize “Great Spirit” as encompassing the Universe. Magical in the way of suddenly revealing a new quality we weren’t expecting. So glad the composition appeared in your essay today, by the porridge bowl.

Restacking this fine piece to Notes.

I shall miss you all today cast adrift on jury service. Back next week into creative comfort.
