You know, ...Yes, that is getting to be a while ago. You know, regarding accuracy, that in some sense at least, to render something accurately would look distorted and not accurate at all. Hence the drama [and other tricks] to make our case believable. Also, in another sense, does the accuracy dictate the picture or does the drama dictate the accuracy? I suppose it goes to the primacy of motive. Great food for thought, John, always a pleasure.

I did a series of falling people on brown wrapping paper (free in the sculpture studio at TSU). Ever notice what a beautiful surface chipboard is? I'm so ashamed. Oh wait. That was thirty two years ago. Now not so much.

All that intensity, and if my wife were to come up and say "dinner", I'd jump out of my skin in fright. I'd say make some noise for Gods sake. Thanks Rhonda--all the best.
