I added a high-quality feature to the hallway outside my studio this past week.

Art is constantly in dialogue with its context; it’s important to remember the creative possibilities of dabbling in context.

While this deep basement hallway has neither windows nor airflow, it does in fact have someone who hangs out in a corner of it who knows about taking care of plants in non-optimal conditions.

Optimizing the non-optimal … I wonder how I got so good at that.

We’ll see how he does. 🙂

So far greg is thriving and has me remembering my old plant-filled apartment from back before certain accumulated experiences of harm wrenched my life into the underworld for a time. That time is becoming less and less relevant to my day to day. Good.

I was often drawing little drawings like this back then, which look great on a wall or a shelf among plant friends.

Maybe some new ones will start to propagate again before long.

Even though it was extra cold today and spring has yet to sproing, things feel quietly alive down here.

It’s probably greg.
