I’m cool, I’m hip, I’m fresh, I’m good /Steven Holl

But how does that fit with his stupid watercolor sketches? Sold on the website.
I’m more like his older theoretical stuff. Any idea? THX.
Renaissance man/ Derek Jarman
And then no renaissance came
And times continued to change
Nothing stayed the same
But there were always renegades
outtakes from Derek Jarman’s Last of England:
skepticism/ whirling at the edge of chaos
Lee Bontecou’s work is an investigation of organic form with microscopic complexity and it’s very interesting when it’s close to technology and architecture.
She builds powerful space where the organic and the mechanical are folded, one into the other.
Lee Bontecou, 1931:
Did you ever stand in a Cavern's Mouth
Did you ever stand in a Cavern's Mouth—
Widths out of the Sun—
And look—and shudder, and block your breath—
And deem to be alone
In such a place, what horror,
How Goblin it would be—
And fly, as 'twere pursuing you?
Then Loneliness—looks so—
Did you ever look in a Cannon's face—
Between whose Yellow eye—
And yours—the Judgment intervened—
The Question of "To die"—
Extemporizing in your ear
As cool as Satyr's Drums—
If you remember, and were saved—
It's liker so—it seems—
Emily Dickinson
