Spent most of the day crouched over my drawing table cutting & pasting paper ephemera into a handmade book of childhood exercises, adding photos discovered in the morgue file of a deceased painter. Looks like 30-40 pages so I hope to complete the book by the end of June. If there's a theme developing, it's quite by accident, but it appears to be: women & men. Or, birds and fountains. Tomorrow, we're off to Tupátaro!—home of the Sistine Chapel of Mexico. I met the architect, Enrique Luft, responsible for restoring the chapel, at an exhibit of his paper clip paintings last year. He's a very interesting presence in Patzcuaro and can usually be found standing on a corner wearing overalls and a cool pointy hat.
