How to stay vulnerable?

Today I stood in front of the easel for some time.

I felt clumsy.

Drawing without knowing the end result, without grasping the form, with only the moment of doing — that is not unlike performance, and perhaps one way to stay vulnerable.

game

Choose from the deck of cards. This will be your activity. (Criteria for the activity: it must be easy to accomplish at the location or leads to a clear destination.)

Draw something you remember from your home space in silence. When you are done, tell me about it.

Call someone you miss.

Choose a picture from FB/IG posted by someone from home. Tell me about it.

Take to me an eatery with the kind of food you miss. Let's eat something you like.

Take me grocery shopping. What are the ingredients of a dish you miss eating/cooking? Let's eat a meal together.

Take me to a place in this city that reminds you of home.

"You enter. There's the common room. In German it's called [...] Don't you have it? So on the right...etc. etc."

On the screen:

- drawing action of all the floor plans

- dinner set

- pottery

- bike parts..

It comes back to a personal narrative of 452 Park Place. Perhaps I will create a 3D model for that.

2. Read. Feel free to pause.

Artists: [1]

And the ever-going struggles: [2]

My plates are used by the sculptors, woodworkers and the barber.

Manny, I wonder how the bike is. Have you been on any long rides?

To the stranger who stole the silver bike, I hope you've got you need from it.

There is a box of pottery from Oaxaca somewhere for the next seven years.

Amelia has not written me at all.

Is there snow now?

Is there abundant kale in the cooler and red russet potatoes in the baskets?

Is Mariam still teaching and lighting the palo santo at the end?

The beach is cold now.
