		<title>Using Tumblr and Pinterest as research tools</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Once I started looking at Tumblr as a form of visual research, I realized that I wanted to hang on to some of these images. Pinterest is a sensible tool for this, so I started using it about six weeks ago. 
The combination of looking at Tumblr and posting to Pinterest has become a way [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pots and Life, Vols. 15 and 20</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s time for a ramble about this &#8220;pots and life&#8221; thing.
In July I began a post in which I wanted to talk about pots as signifiers, in the semiotic sense. (I first wrote that I wanted to talk about them as signs &#8211; and they are that, too. I offer no explanation.) Here&#8217;s the writing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Violinist in a train station, or, context and beauty</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A perceptual experiment (lengthy quote):
Do we recognize beauty when we see it?
A man sat at a metro  station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold  January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During  that time, since it was rush hour, it was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Artist: Rineke Dijkstra</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cleaning up a post I started on January 8, and putting it up.
How are people when they are trying to act natural? I first came across Reneke Dijkstra (REH neh kay DEEK stra) in a Taschen book of women artists. It&#8217;s been hard to describe what connects: honesty and vulnerability are words that come to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Site: inthemake.net</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Part of my research time lately has gone into reading a website called inthemake.net &#8211; it&#8217;s a collaborative effort by photographer Klea McKenna and writer Nikki Grattan &#8211; the site is a group of interviews and studio visits (with nice photography) with mostly-Bay-area artists. It&#8217;s been interesting reading, and has helped me to see a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Potters and academia, and related reflections</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my studiomates from the Lillstreet days shared this on Facebook:
Had a very disheartening discussion about grad school with a professor. Apparently being a noble Artist (yes, that is a capitol A) is much more important (read: academically acceptable) than being a lowly potter.
These are some thoughts and observations in response, based on my [...]]]></description>

		<title>A bit on New Harmony, IN</title>
		<description><![CDATA[New Harmony, IN. Topic of my (group) presentation tonight for Practicing Utopias. Summary, history, thoughts, reflections.
Summary
The town was founded by one utopian group &#8211; the Rappites (followers of George Rapp, and we might compare them with the Shakers). When the Rappites changed locations, budding idealist and reformer Robert Owen bought the town. His community attracted [...]]]></description>

		<title>Artist: Willy de Sauter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Like so much of my writing that is ostensibly about an artist, this is not a summary of an artist&#8217;s work, but my thoughts as I&#8217;m looking through it. All images are from the artist&#8217;s website, willydesauter.be. 

It&#8217;s no secret that I like white, so when I came across Willy De Sauter &#8211; probably through [...]]]></description>

Bleeding Piece I:
I cut my ankle in the shower, while shaving. I watched my blood run until the water was too cool to be pleasant.
