"In uncertainty l am certain that underneath their topmost layers of fraility
men want ot be good and want to be loved. Indeed most of their vices
are attempted short cuts to love. When a man comes to die, no matter
what his talents and influence and genius, if he dies unloved his life
must be a failure to him and his dying a cold horror. It seems to me
that if you or l must choose between two courses of thought or action,
we should remember our dying and try to live that our death
brings no pleasure to the world."

Hi ken,
your blog is so you. or so it seems to me. I took a weekend workshop with you many years ago at the college in parksville. I had a breakthrough that weekend from your encouragement and example. I remember one phrase you said "just keep building up the surface" and that has really stuck with me. I'm still working in photo based collage and had a solo show at TOSH last year. I appreciate your honesty, your humility, your generous sharing through writing and teaching.
Thank you for your lovely words Barbra.
I looked at your website; http://www.sundquist.ca/art/
You have some very wonderful work.
