crocuses, milly, public art and a theatre class

 

the crocuses have popped up in our tree pit gardens.

it was a walk milly day . . 

we went by the river . . it was wonderfully sunny . . 

daffodils!

david hammons, days end, 2014-21, stainless steel and precast concrete. it's a physical outline of an old warehouse that used to sit in this exact spot. the artist gordon matta-clark would cut large openings in the structure. the second photo below has a picture of one of his renderings.

this afternoon, after walking milly, i finished my reading for the classical literature class i'm taking at the library, rewriting/repurposing classical plays with professor judith miller who taught at nyu. there are fourteen people in the class and it's been really fun. oedipus rex (sophocles) was discussed the first week; week two was incendies by wajdi mouawad (inspired by oedipus rex); and tomorrow will be the tempest by william shakespeare. everyone has much to say!
