Richard Brilliant wrote about my work…

Last summer, Becca and I received a delightful hand-typed letter in the mail.  Dr. Richard Brilliant was writing to say that he would author the essay for Subjective’s exhibition catalog. 

A member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and Anna S Garbedian Professor in the Humanities at Columbia University, Brilliant has received many honors, including the Rome Prize from the American Academy in Rome, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and a Fulbright grant. 

Needless to say, having an art historian write about my work before I’m dead is a privilege and an honor!
