Collage of Healing Herbs and Bodily Systems, 1994, mixed media

 

I've been fairly strict about staying home as much as possible but crossing the river last month to see the Milford Graves: A Mind-Body Deal at the Philadelphia ICA, co-curated by Mark Christman, whose Ars Nova Workshop is such a godsend to avant-jazz enthusiasts in the area, in the closing week was not optional.  I was so Covid-obsessed on this excursion I could swear having seen echinacea and pau d'arco on the pic of his herbal shelf (below) but I can't find them now.

KEVIN KILLIAN ON EDWARD JAMES

"Joe LeSueur.. remembered the intimate side of Edward James, who took his sensible reluctance to "drink the water" to bizarre Howard Hughes like extremes. Once he watched James wash his hands 38 times within an hour. He kept his pencils plunged into a bar of soft soap to keep them "clean" and had his paper clips parboiled before re-using them."
