Oh! Jimmy! I had no idea! The story of DM's evolution blows me away! When I first saw DM, i knew you'd created a phenomenal piece of art. I do see two kindred spirits in this collaboration. What a loving, gorgeous, culmination of persistence, loss and even serendipity.

Congtatulations. Sending boatloads of love and admiration!

PS.

I love your characterization of Matisse's work. I certainly do see it in Frances's work too. I'm channeling what I think of as a Matisse affect/effect myself as I begin trying to create in 2026. Certainly not so sophisticated as your articulation of artifice as a bulwark ? against propaganda. But maybe that's why he's so inspiring to me right now.

I loved reading this, Jimmy. To know the story of the story of the story. And to see the beauty of your imagination in a place we all can see. You, gift-giver. Big love to you. - Keely
