Photos from yesterday’s talk, which was enjoyable. I spoke about alchemical nigredo, the grail flints found in Neolithic tombs and the nature of inner transformation discovered in the search for the purified and re-integrated prima materia, embarked upon by all alchemists.
I’ll be at Bert Green Fine Art for an artists talk on Saturday at four o’clock. My installations Grails and As the Crow Flies have been there this month. Do join me at the gallery if you’re in the Los Angeles area. Downtown has changed a lot in the last ten years – there are [...]

It seems to me that I need to get some ivy painted into the foreground in order to complete the composition, then I’m done. I [...]
