| But it's not necessarily there, and for me the achievement of Brit

yes before going finally into I hope temporary silence I'd like to say _here
hear_ for David Nash who continues to *somehow avoid repetition or
sentimentality
natural materials w/ natural as denotative only
here and now / hear and know
an otherness that is the other of the not seeing _gosh isnt it beautiful_ as
in avoidance of how things are
the beauty, if we must, and we probably must, as cats pounce at movement of
things, as are andor could be
last Nash things I saw were wonderful - but not WONDER FULL
yet they were - but without any goshness - sensible wonder as in perhaps
sensible shoes and sense though come to think of it as I came into the room
the first thing I thought was something like _fuck me
which is a different set of shoes
where was this? annely juda?

I spent a lot of the time there looking up at the ceiling and thinking about
the mechanics of the exhibition
but not overpowering in their bigness
throughpowering perhaps
but that's like taking of powers
or songs of one who has come through
and that may be and probably is suspect
withpowering / powering with
oh nuts / and bolts
I like it, as the Cardinal in Stefan Themerson said
