Scribble Scrabble at the Blanton

Stare at this drawing by Leon Ferrari for a few minutes. Just stare at it until your pupils become puddles of ink dipped, tiny tornadoes. Somehow this drawing punctures holes into every big problem I think I have these days. It’s complicated yet pellucid. Things get tangled up until you look back at your circuitous path and wonder, what have I been doing? How did I get here? Dude, where’s my carcass? Then a security guard tells you to stop loitering in the wonderful drawing room at the Blanton. Bummer. The Gego drawings in there are magnificent and this Ferrari piece offers insight into texts as they deteriorate into schizophrenic strings of indecipherable subtext. Yeah, you heard me the first time. And if you haven’t been to the Blanton yet, take a drive up 281 so you can see all the miniature ponies along the way!!
