received from Imelda Wubben

This one I really love! In the last exchanges we are talking through birds: Owls and Ducks.

I like the angry snowflaked Donald and the hidden cottonhaired friendly face in the background. Donald is talking asemic, and when I was a child Donald was talking in films accousticasemic, wonderful! Thank you…

Funny was that I send one day before a greeting letter to… Continue

Van Gogh spam

Ok, I just received a spam email with gobbledygook and then, at the end, the Van Gogh quote "How wonderful yellow is. It stands for the sun."

From De Villo Sloan - Lend Me Your Imagination for a Moment Please.

I keep asking DVS for some sort of explanation about his work. He keeps avoiding this . I think this means I have to just get on with it? The most important thing I can see? Painting and writing in De Villo’s work is a medium of unconscious self-awareness.
