About

.../miscellaneous - is a personal journal self educational in nature, containing notes and images that inspire me, or that I wish to learn more about - as such, it includes works by other people as noted with full acknowledgment and credit to authors and sources.

I also share content of my own making that I think is worth sharing with a larger audience. If there is any work by others who object to having their work posted here, I will remove the content if so requested.

Matt Niebuhr - Works ...examining the threshold at which ordinary visibility ends and perception begins... is a site featuring my work exclusively.

Intersecting Images : a "blog" with musings about art, photography and culture - begun in 2005

Richard Long Untitled, 2004 River Avon mud on Douglas Fir plywood 96 x 24 inches243,8 x 61 cm SW 04379 
Long time interest in Long…  I like the inclusion of labels in his work that describe the materials put to work in the piece “Untitled” , for instance, I wonder,  why River Avon mud?   The hint of a larger story?  
A line, nature with nature - what guides the line?

GERHARD RICHTER, KÖLN - COURTESY GERHARD- RICHTER-ARCHIV DRESDEN
“There was the painting of a warship that had been hit by a torpedo. It was shown in 1964, in the first gallery show of a painter who was still unknown at the time. It looked serious and dramatic, with the calm water in the distance, the inconspicuous silhouette of the ship and, underneath it all, a gigantic explosion. But then it disappeared.” via

“For this volume, Wade Guyton first had the book designed, and then printed it on the same ink-jet printers he used for his large-format serial prints on canvas. These pages were then scanned and printed by offset. In a sense, this artist’s book is a work on the questions of reproduction, original, source, and re-formation at the heart of Guyton’s practice.”
