Hi Peter,
what a pleasure to here about people, doing any kind work, that one doesn't
know. I'll try to find more about Peter Randall-Page, thanks.
It was a bit trite to couple Long and Goldsworthy in terms of their working
methods and approaches. Long's game is one of 'spot the presence', a
tracing that has become increasingly obvious and gauche. I love your
roccoco' strain (for strain see stringent, to draw tight - to urge) in
respect of material brilliance.
I wasn't at all suggesting that looking at 'nature' is over the shoulder.
That would conform to teleological posturing that leaves me cold. Much as
the Malagasy attitude to time has been summed up well as, time is all
around us and there's lots of it why worry. I would put the 'natural'
boundaries into such a complex, continually discontinuous process, as
specifically appropriate formation and contestation of such formation.
The elegaic, for me - since it's surely yet another currently contestable
term, rather than being 'funerary' (although there is something of marking
the celebration of passing residued), might be a gesture that prompts
engagement with such complexities?

Is the nicest thing that's anyone's said to me all week. Is that a quote
from Bette Midler? Anyway i'll buy one, maybe several. How about this from
Billie Holiday:
'like a stray
little lamb
with no mammy
and no pappy
i'm so unhappy
yet oh, so glad'
Of Being Serious
love and love
