Carol, I was so taken by your post; spent the night in my studio, surrounded
by the clutter and stuff of work and no work, possibility and despair of
use. I think you're right; there is a certain satisfaction in seeing the
collected physical *stuff* of years of art/work -- created stuff, stuff

Great story, Kathy! I love the sense of the drama of that age, you know
you're sort of discovering the scale at which you want to live, and at that
age the desired scale is pretty big, and one's abilities are really not up

Cecil,
How can you suppose to know what something worth hanging up on a wall is?

Thanks Ann. Enough courage to retell the story years later but nerve
to destroy the stuff of dreams then just to to gain attention. Also

Allan,
I know and you know and everybody knows what is worth hanging on a wall
- there is no supposing to it. On some walls I am sure nothing
whatsoever is the very best solution. On many walls millions of things
are worth hanging on them. On a museum wall some things, on a bathroom
