From the beautifully written Holland Cutter review of the exhibition of collages and shadow boxes by Joseph Cornell, “a poet of light, a connoisseur of stars, celestial and otherwise. An archivist of time…when you are born at sea, you follow what light you have, you make your own.” The show runs from 6 October to 6 January for anyone within getting-to distance of the SF MOMA, lucky dogs that you are. Years ago, Laurel insisted we go see some of his work in an exhibit, she told me I would love it. She was right. I remember standing in front of the piece they’ve used here for the catalog cover, enchanted.
