My Personal Gift to MOMA's Collection

In truth, it seems criminal to create all of this fine art and, then, send some of it to the odd friend, sure; post a few photos of said fine art in this space; let a great deal of it accumulate in a plastic drawer in our living room.  So I have, quite rightly, decided to share a tiny bit of the wealth with MOMA...

A few weeks ago a phrase popped into my head and I jotted it down on a scrap of paper.  A couple of days later I found the scrap laying on the counter and took a quick photo, which you can find in these very pages, 1/26/13.  I held on to the paper and a few weeks later added a sort of imprimatur I've been working on, a "variation" of the Black Sheets of Rain "series" I was doing early last year (check out 3/22/12 for a reminder, or simply search Black Sheets of Rain).  The imprimatur comes with a cross at times - other times it is cross-free.

As MOMA thoughtfully provided us with this pre-paid envelope (I will add the extra two cents), and the piece in question fits inside quite nicely, I have decided to send it out in Tuesday's post for inclusion in their permanent collection.

A generous gift if I do say so myself...
