Would love to have seen this show!
If you have time when you’re in Boston next, if you haven’t been already, my favorite painting I’ve seen of his is there at the Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum, El Jaleo.
Not to mention the museum itself is incredibly unique and well worth the trip.

Rupert Sheldrake talks about it in interviews and lectures. I don’t think it’s in his books so much

fwiw Rupert Sheldrake speculates about the complexity of the human brain vs other entities in the universe, and then goes on to point out that stars are much more complex than the human brain. He then speculates there could be information transmitted by the sun to humans. And others who work with NASA then discuss the human dna as a possible receiver (see “tyler” in Diana Walsh Pasulka’s book, American Cosmic) https://y.yarn.co/5f026114-7460-4a9b-a021-1fc6bd05f21f_text.gif

Something I learned last summer: Canada has way higher quality beef than the States, generally. I’m sure there are some great providers out here in the states, but, in general, the meat quality here is sub par.

What do you think is the origin of the enthusiasm for tariffs right now? Mercantilism has so many arguments for how it is counter productive. I’m kind of mystified by why this new approach to trade is the zeitgeist, unless it’s as simple as protecting supply chains for national security reasons. What other arguments are there in favor of tariffs that make sense?

I want to make a small hydraulic press with a jack for my small home studio. I haven’t looked into it for awhile. The way I learned was to form copper with dies I made using plexi sheet cut and layered between vulcanized rubber. It’s been many years. But it was something like this. My shop mates and I discovered the most astonishing forms. It was so fun.
