Resilience

Sitting in my friend, Bob's, office, we talked about management fads over time - TQM, sigma 6, quality circles, etc; this all was tied into his broaching of some slogan with "resilience" in it. I shot back, yes if you're going to show any imagination you'll need resilience for when they knock you down.

The upshot was I began piecing together an artist book. I didn't realize it at first, but I printed out some of my favorite images: Man Ray's Prayer; Ralph Gibson's Leda; along with two musical images, one depicting Charlotte Moorman and the other a photo by Sara Saudkova;  and a Francesca Woodman image, which I couldn't find the title for. Before I knew it I was cobbling them together, adding some pen and ink drawings, as well as a screed, plus a bit of found text. It all came together in an erratic and haphazard manner with a modicum of artlessness - which I enjoy. Here it is, documented in my blog. Enjoy!
