I’m glad you found me!

I’ve found your stir fry Blue Hyacinth really fascinating. For some aspects, especially the way in which the lines overlap and perfectly match together, it reminds me of Queneau’s 100 Thousand Billion Poems. Were you inspired by it in some ways? And what about Michael Joyce’s “Twelve Blue” and his source of inspiration, “On being blue” by William Gass? Did they influence you in some ways?

I’m really interested in your work, and the journal you were keeping online – I think – shows how the Internet allows new forms of communication and also of self-exploration, too. Even though I am sure that ink and paper will never totally disappear from our culture, I believe that the sense of owning a space only for your own but ready to be shared with the rest of the world is absolutely unique.

Thank you again for your comment! Let’s pretend I’m personally giving you a bunch of Sunflowers, I think they can get along very well with your beautiful Blue Hyacinth!

Beniamina

You might also be interested in the original, six-month blue hyacinth journal that I kept online and which was the source for the texts in the stir fry version.

Every so often, completely unknowing that I spent so long obsessing about them, people will give me a blue hyacinth bulb as a gift.
