Italia
Thursday, June 7th, 2001You will find the guidebook of FtG Italian Postcards below. These were all drawn ‘in situ’, and like the writings that appear in the daily updates, are unedited after the initial burst of production. Therefore, some fall shorter than others in their conveyance of the imagery and emotion at hand. Enjoy!

Trinita over the Arno, meal at Pizzeria belle Artes, Jeff Koons teacups, getting shat on at San Marco in Venezia, the Castelvecchio in Verona, Passwords Libreria, Casa del Fascio, Como central cemetery…
So what is it
Tuesday, June 5th, 2001So what is it then? The cypress shafts green unto the sky like a crenellated comb across the stone coping I sat, was it when my eyes open all the world was flashed blue and icy, as the palest red roof in dawn is blue before the sun and the shadows wash the colors to gold, the dullest gold throb rendering even the most dismal refuse precious, but in the shadowless uniformity, noontime flashbulb permanence, the moment of fascination gives me clear vision as gold touches only one spot, out of all the rest, and that, is my heart.
