    I was sorry to miss Erik’s freeform freak flight, but I was lucky enough to hear him speak the next night at 3 X Abstraction. As a huge fan of Hilma af Klint, it was nice to hear her work (and the others’ ) analyzed within an earnestly visionary context.

    And how nice to witness a bona fide independant scholar in action.

    Nice work!
