During the week of LOVE, Betty and I headed over to the Newberry Independent Research Library and checked out the Love on Paper exhibition. Expressions of love that span the centuries and reflect the culture of their time, this show is truly sweet treats!

-The residual purpose of art is purposeless play. This play however, is an affirmation of life–Not an attempt to bring order out of chaos nor to suggest improvements in creation, but simply a way of waking up to the very life we’re living, which is so excellent once one gets one’s mind and one’s desires out of its way and lets it act of its own accord. -John Cage
