Preservation Hall

Before showing new work, I thought it'd be good to dip into the archives.

First, the announcement of some posts on my until now defunct Preservation Hall Blog. I started it right when Hurricane Katrina hit, and it felt wrong for me to start writing about New Orleans and art and beauty... Bad stuff going on out there, as we all know; hopefully everything turns out alright. Anyway, it was meant to be a forum about influences and aesthetics--a place to talk about the bigger world of art stuffs and processes. Check it out here.
