First let me say that this IS still Jason Knits, and there will be posts on knitting and other stuff. In fact, it is on my to-do list today that I find a double knitting pattern for a washcloth to get me back in action. And I really need a washcloth quick. So expect some sort of knitting update soon. 
With that said, the new art gallery IS a big part of my life now, and no doubt there will be lots more updates on the happenings in that part of my world. We have our second exhibition up, and I am very excited that we have a very positive review from the Managing Editor of Flavorpill Los Angeles, Shana Nys Dambrot.
“Each alone is a joy, but taken as an installation and spatial experience, the whole is nothing short of astonishing in both its ambition and serenity.”
- Shana Nys Dambrot

I was going to make a long post about Nancy. But, you can find info about her on the Internet. So I am just going to leave it up to you to click on the links if you are so inclined. Plus, I reconsidered and decided not to get into personal stuff. Too bad though. She’s an amazing human being and can be a good example to so many people.
Nancy, an old friend of CB’s, has a two-month teaching engagement at Otis. She also has a show up at Ben Maltz Gallery on the campus until January 18, 2008. The title is “Media Madness”. (See details on the current exhibition page.) One opening night, she gave a talk on her current and on-going work “Chicken Little and the Culture of Fear”. She was engaging, and very very funny.
Anyway, it’s a great show. Go see it if you are in the neighborhood.
Oh, do you know what an autistic savant is? Do you know what synesthesia is? We also met Nancy’s brother who is a psychiatrist. He introduced us to this book, “Born On A Blue Day” by Daniel Tammet. Daniel Tammet is an autistic savant, and he experiences synesthesia. He sees numbers and letters as colors and shapes. He can recite the number pi to the 22,514th digit. He also learned Icelandic in one week! I am really looking forward to reading this book.
