yes, let’s consider that strangely profound photo.
\na hand holds . . a fuzzy-surfaced, yet specific . . blue.
\na hand-cut triangle. <\/p>\n

a couple of . . . ‘remarks’ !!<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> ‘LINDA’ !!!!!!<\/p>\n

I find that a very strange, yet oddly resonant<\/em> title for an art show.
\nwasn’t there a computer os named Linda, or was that . . Lisa ?<\/p>\n

well, Jack . . sure enough, LINDA has<\/strong> a title claim – in the computer world.
\nLINDA . . “in computer science is a model of coordination & communication among several parallel processes operating upon objects stored in and retrieved from shared<\/strong>, virtual, associative memory”.
\nit was developed in 1986.
\nsource: LINDA – wikipedia <\/p>\n

and I would say without irony, those communicative qualities – do belong to JEFFREY TRANCHELL, as well.
\nand most likely are part of his show’s ‘unwritten’ agenda \/ concept.<\/p>\n

1a.<\/strong> as well, Further the simplicity, beauty & irony of this show’s title . .
\nis explained without irony, right off the bat, in the gallery text<\/a> on the show,
\n“Named in appreciation of the very helpful accountant\/sales person who made the partial roll of Pacifico Blue carpet available . . ”
\ncan I be the only one – to so<\/strong> dig that ?!!!!!<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> IS THAT A FLYING . . DORITO CHIP ? he’s holding up as the ‘totem’ of ‘LINDA’ ?
\nalbeit, blue instead of orange ?<\/p>\n

2a.<\/strong> or: IS IT A TRADITIONAL ‘FLYING GEESE’ – triangular quilt pattern \/ piece ?<\/p>\n

so, I guess when JEFFREY TRANCHELL curated a one-day \/ ESSEX FLOWERS pop-up at the Casual Art Fair (Hester St. Fair \/ Lower East Side, NYC \/ SUN OCT 2, 2016) about 6 months back, and which featured the ‘snack’ shaped ceramics of RACHEL DOMM, and, 2 hand-repaired & hand-pieced vintage cribs quilts by NANCY SMITH (ok, aka myself !!),
\nhe really<\/strong> was thinking about the concepts & shapes of our work, in ways – I didn’t realize at the time.<\/p>\n

yeah, for sure !!
\nRachel’s small ceramic snacks & cookies, which became decorative units in her clay transformations – did<\/strong> resemble . . quilt pattern ‘parts’ – which are . . very simple, cut-out basic shapes, yo !! !!<\/p>\n

so, yeah.
\nbless his deep conceptual \/ visual soul, if that sweet & curious triangle of blue carpet he holds up, isn’t<\/strong> just considering the triangle, a profound, but common Dorito shape, but also, as it imparted in carpet material – it also seems to be referencing the gnarly world of . . ‘quilting’.<\/p>\n

it’s also got a . . quelle femme ‘sensual’ side, but that’s – for someone else’s essay. <\/p>\n

hey, if ‘snacks’ and ‘quilts’ aren’t . . models of social ‘communication’ – then, what are they ?????<\/p>\n
