Positive phototropism is the direction of a plant's growth towards the sun. I keep turning this plant trying to even out its growth, but as you can see, I haven't turned it in a while. I was thinking about this in relation to my work in the things that I gravitate towards.

richard serra

there's an interview charlie rose did with richard serra in 2001. i think a lot of what serra talks about relates to "painting and the struggle for the whole self." i don't know how to post a video so here's the website:

then you can watch the follow up one if you want. if you haven't seen his work in person you should make a day trip to the dia:beacon next time you're in ny.

maybe more so in this one...
