I'm still overwhelmed with the thought of being in NYC, the thought of being at ABAD, the thought that I met the people I met and did the things I did... <br /><br />cheers, <br /><br />jjzJennifer Kosharekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06882874056140760432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3340310062269056961.post-73223780406731789292009-09-16T19:09:53.761-04:002009-09-16T19:09:53.761-04:00Thanks Jafa and van Dyck - It was great seeing how...Thanks Jafa and van Dyck - It was great seeing how this came together then started disappearing.<br />Matthew did a spectacular job staying on top of this project; without his strong concept and commitment this never would have had the depth the subject demanded.<br />Owen - many of us that follow your blog would love to see an exhibit; don't wait forever ;)<br />Hi Ravenna - I've had the same reaction on occasion; but viewing the global differences on the subject was refreshing. It was difficult to begin, as I wanted to deal with some painful ideas, but the insights shared by fellow artists helped the process.William Evertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16552959930900393198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3340310062269056961.post-53379123629755366922009-09-16T11:21:58.173-04:002009-09-16T11:21:58.173-04:00I loved being a part of it too!

Yesterday I was explaining it to a friend here; as has happened a number of times, when I spoke the title, "A Book About Death," an expression of distaste passed over the person's face. It's been a revelation to me, both how many people can not get comfortable with the merest mention of death, let alone an exhibit dedicated to it - but also by contrast, my own comfort with the words, dead, death, dying, with the idea, with the absence that makes our presence here so compelling and in a sense miraculous. Thank you to everyone who joined me and especially to Matthew Rose and the Emily Harvey Foundation.<br /><br />Ravenna TaylorRavenna Taylornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3340310062269056961.post-21908833426537734532009-09-15T16:27:18.093-04:002009-09-15T16:27:18.093-04:00Bill, this must have been an incredible experience...Bill, this must have been an incredible experience to participate in this project and see it all unfold at close range. I was peripherally aware of it through your blog but hadn't had time to look much closer... would have loved to take part in something like this... maybe someday if I ever get a life and get away from corporate employment... sigh...Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12622587942009516590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3340310062269056961.post-21403495152576051922009-09-14T17:05:11.774-04:002009-09-14T17:05:11.774-04:00HELLO BILL!
