  • Graphing Behavior

    I’m not fond of graphs because my experience has led me to associate them with mundane math. They also make the line between math and art that much more undefined. But here are two I enjoy:  What we have above is a 2D representation of the changes in head feeling that I, and I’m sure…

  • If This Were Happening

    Sometimes I like to imagine possible future situations and decide how I would react to them. For example: 1. a doctor tells me I have cancer 2. an emergency news broadcast reports that the pandemic, 7 years behind schedule but none the weaker, has finally arrived.
