backstory: A show to see

You know I like to share things I think are worth your time. 

Highly recommending the Jack Whitten show at MoMA. It’s extraordinary. Whitten was extraordinary—the way he created mosaic out of paint, the way he eschewed traditional tools, the sheer beauty of the work. Go see it if you haven’t already. It’s stunning.
