haha at first when i was writing this, i couldn’t figure out how to say what i wanted to say, and i guess i still don’t. i think by art i meant not so much the structured, rigid artificialities of culture and convention so much as something… organic. immaterial. emerson’s source. i suppose i still can’t figure it out. that’s okay.

anyway, since originally i arrived at the word ‘art’ through failing to arrive at a better word, i wasn’t really thinking about art as in art, which… was a really happy mistake! because now that i’m sitting down, i realize that i really do want to surround myself with art. i love your idea of hanging up posters and things all around – thanks! i can see this working really well with all sorts of funny frames! of course frames are expensive so i’m just going to tape up prints on my walls… as many as i can, anyway… silly student rooms & fire code restrictions, silly student budgets…

right now i’m very into things from other countries and regions, so maybe i’ll make a point to bring one thing back wherever i travel!! haha i can see my room getting very messy very quickly…
