This is one of the best essays I've ever read on Substack. I know that ideas being alive is true. I was up in the night reading Gilbert's book on my Kindle.
There are so many inspirations here, big and small, from Rothko's quote to "intuitive spontaneity."
But mostly I loved your prose, how it flowed; the story of your life; your movement from art that represented to art that felt.
A lovely, thoughtful piece, Tabby. So good to see your work here.
thank you for your oh so kind comment, damon.
I love this piece, Tabby. Thanks so much!
thank you!
