Kobo Colour Libra
I just got an e-Reader. I’ve had the Kindle app for years, but not the physical device. While I was doing the MA I could only get, or afford, some articles and books online and I found this very useful for copying and pasting citations and quotations. Also my eyesight is fading. I couldn’t read in bed anymore and I used to do that every night, now I listen to BBC Sounds. I bought the Kobo eReader and this week I’ve already read 2 books in bed and one on the train. I wont give up physical books. I prefer their feel and look. Every bool looks the same in an eReader.
‘How to be an Artist’
This was the book I read on the train. There are plenty of tropes and quotes.
I didn’t have a camera with me and I felt naked without it. But I had a notebook, a pen and the Kobo, so I could read, think and write. The second semester of the MFA starts next week and I’m looking forward to it. I’d like to have something new to create. It seems that the semester will only run for 12 weeks to the end of April, so we will have a long break from May until October.
I want to have a good project for the summer.

Some Ideas
Inspired by the beginning of Cat’s Eye: Print each layer of a (Cubist) image on acetate. Set them on a light box. Change the order of the layers …
2. A matrix of pages from my MSc thesis, with something on top e.g. transcript, portrait, etc.
3. Berlin? what though?
4. Can I get the wave-particle duality in with, say, cubism?
