Notes“In February 1983 in Rochester, NY, I found a set of Compton’s Encyclopedias, (circa 1950), bound them together using thick rope, built a pyramidal structure, and hung them in my backyard. The piece is entitled, Books of Knowledge Standing Up Against the Elements that I photographed through seasonal changes and locations wherever I lived.” [more]

Notes
Okay, I’m totally trying this.
L. Filipe dos Santos starts each of his drawings with a Rorschachesque watercolor shape he randomly imprints into his notebook. It’s like making something out of what was once meaningless. I’m stumbling across so much creativity today. It’s making me jealous.
