I nearly packed the second slice of cardboard onto my one-night backpack for the Chasseral. The thought of a mountain scenery landscape was almost too good to resist.

Mildly surreal to listen to last year’s Basel artist talk with the Kanazawa exhibition now behind me, not ahead anymore.

Also, save the date: I will be dropping by the lovely town on the Rhine again during Art Basel week for I Never Read, June 18-21
