Very funny way to start a piece & it immediately pulled me in to stay for the duration. Anyone who spends days with a wall scrubby & admits it is great. The rest was fascinating but the diary peek into daily you (I've kept a diary since 1974) made my day. Keep scrubbing. Keep researching. I never go into libraries & I'm a writer. Now, you make me want to. I'm heading to Greece in August (I know. I know; hot as New Orleans) & I'm going to find a library (on Kephallonia it might be challenging; likely to be church related) and see what I find.
Just so cool. Thanks for sharing this perspective on research and on this artist. I’ve seen that image (of the frozen river) a thousand times and had no idea of the background of the artist.
Wat geweldig, Ben… het is buitengewoon spannend om te lezen! En ongelooflijk dat je dit zo in handen hebt, die foto’s zijn wel nodig om te bewijzen 😄 Ik zie een boek ontstaan - zeker op deze voice driven manier van vertellen - práchtig
Fascinating read - loved it! Good luck with the magic eraser X
We're not 100% there but making progress.

You should! Librarians and curators are always eager to show you.
Wat een heerlijk stuk om te lezen! Het is net alsof ik je hoor praten.

No, they've kind of risen above his personal story, which is fascinating.
You're writing has enlarged my world (Sontag, Lispector) and these snippets are motivating for my own work, thx.
I am so happy to hear this. Thanks for saying so.
