Went to The Newark Museum of Art where my former The New Museum intern from 1995 is now a Senior Curator. The lobby art includes this wonderful work by O. Donald Odita, whom I also met when I was working for TNM. Love long time connections. #artistsofcolor #curatorsofcolor #NewarkMuseum

I’ve named this “El Asiento. I saw this ancient chair at the Newark Museum and thought about the people who once sat on it. Who were they? What were they thinking? Where did they go? Why did they sit? This is the thought process of a writer. #trusttheprocess #writer #antique #muse #newarkmuseum

Vintage desk at ballentine house

I love antique writer’s desks. I wonder about the people that used them. This one I saw at the Ballantine house. #newarkmuseum #onwriting #writer #ballentinehouse #antiques
