aesthesia continued

I went to a guest lecture by Fred Tomaselli on Monday. His work interested me quite a bit... not always aesthetically but more in the way he approached an conceptualized his work. After hearing him speak... I knew beyond a doubt that I wanted to and had to be painter. I suppose it was the level of his intellect that appealed to me. The work that he i was most fond of he said was inspired by Thomas Pinchon's Gravity's Rainbow. I thought that was brilliant that his vocalization of ideas was so perfectly acute. Second, he used the word solipcistic in sentence. That immediatedly appealed to me. I suppose I do like his art. I like the carefreeness.
