Looking like I'll have to read this one. We were 'issue mates' in @themothmagazine.bsky.social years ago (okay, Ridgeway was interviewed in the issue) & this impressed a good friend of mine FAR more (I mean terribly and EXCESSIVELY more) than the fact of my very first publication. 🤣

I was beginning to feel almost not too bad. Next time you're feeling down.... #DeWittLove #GrammarPrimersForever 💘

Feels like these or hands like these influenced Jesse Mockrin's who are also quite something to behold. As here:

Love the eccentricity of this lawn smack in the middle of pristinely-manicured Rosedale.

close-up of Siberian squill announcing spring.

2-storey white house with black roof and shutters (slightly rundown?) and lawn full of Siberian squill (small purple flowers) and a few yellow daffodils.

Before dying one night in March, Fanny lived for forty-three years, without her fate, which had seemed so promising at first . . . . Anne Serre weekend over here.

As delightful but more useful than Duchamp's.

"What is often referred to as Duchamp's first readymade (made two years before Duchamp even solidified the term "readymade") was his Bicycle Wheel of 1913, which is basically a bicycle wheel (note: with no tire on it) that turns if spun and is mounted upside-down into a draughtsman’s stool." https://www.artsy.net/article/matthew-the-first-readymade

Leonardo da Vinci, St. John The Baptist. Reminds me of someone I knew once.

The work depicts the figure of John the Baptist in isolation through the use of chiaroscuro, with the figure appearing to emerge from the shadowy background. The saint is dressed in furs, has long curly hair and is smiling in an enigmatic manner reminiscent of Leonardo's famous Mona Lisa. He holds a reed cross in his left hand, while his right hand points up toward heaven (alt text quoted from Wikipedia ad loc)

In progress. Lives up so far.
