IF I GET FRUSTRATED by anything lately, it's that I can't do everything at once. Music, sculpture, video, writing, painting. It's not a complaint I make too often, only a sense I experience and privately note, because it's a hard thing to talk about with other people, I have found. It too easily sounds to them like some Lord of the Manor despairing because he simply cannot ride every prize horse in the stable at one time. Which makes people laugh. Which makes me begin wondering "Should I go into comedy?" But of course, that would only add one more thing that I couldn't do at once. Although I've yet to see a stand-up sculptor. So maybe I'll develop that.
Anyway, just honing my well-tuned ability to turn everything out there into something about me. What I really got into this posting box to type was that digging Xavier's exhibit makes me think "Oooh. I miss art, the freedom of art, the inner connection to the matter around me, the furious and silent and nimble language of the hands. I've got to get back into that."
Title of this post from linked exhibit.

You could always stick to sculpting while standing on a comedy club stage. Though your act would be hell to follow, or even to clean up after.

That sounds like a pretty good act, Nez, as long as you're swinging the wet-clay mallet from a ladder on top of which is perched a laptop on which you are liveblogging the performance-art event, and behind Gallagher is a canvas on which the splattering clay patterns are being filmed for your MTV gig...
