Ancient Color Chips

A visit to the Metropolitan Art Museum in NYC yesterday had this on the walk. Glass tiles, rows and rows, seemed like the test tiles we made in ceramics 101. Thousands of years old, and still vivid color.

Charles James on Organization

In the side bar column, Charles James, who's work is on exhibit at the Met in NYC wrote this, and I quote, (and yes, it is all in caps): 

I HAVE TOLD YOU OVER AND OVER AGAIN THAT A WORK OF ART…THE ACT OF CREATING ANYTHING DEPENDS VERY DIRECTLY ON THE ORGANIZATION OF MATERIAL AND TIME AND MOBLIZATION [sic] OF EFFORT ON THE PART OF MANY PEOPLE WORKING TOWARDS A COMMON GOAL..

EACH TAKING ON THEIR INTEREXCHANGEABLE RESPONSIBILITIES, AND HELPING EACH OTHER OVERCOME THEIR PARTICULAR HANG UPS.
