Thank you for the information about Jay Leyda and about Susan Howe's similar
path.  And thank you for the three sites above.  I spent half-an-hour
exploring them, finding, among other things the Language as Object material.
(Is that the full exhibit you spoke of wanting earlier on the west coast?)
What I once described as a vase is obviously a dress.  (Still don't know where
I saw it.)   And I found you own work fascinating.  I should have been around
Amherst last year.
