Chloe came back from the
library with a really cool new book, The Creative Cottage by photographers, Gross &
Daley. It features Portia Munson & Jarred Handelsman's art encrusted gypsy
revival house as well as a great collection of fascinating and interesting
places including another old pal, Butch Anthony's hand made doo nanny log cabin
and the quasi ancestral home of painter John Dowd in Provincetown.
The cover is striking with
it's is neo kitschian raised scrawl title over the colorful parlor in Portia
& Jarred's house an obviously ironic challenge to the traditional mores
inherent in the style book genre. A doff of the tractor cap to whoever at their
publisher came up with that!
As David Byrne sang in
artists only:
I
don't have to prove...that I am creative!
I
dont' have to prove...that I am creative!
All
my pictures are confused
And
now I'm going to take me to you.
