How much do I love Italy? There are almost no words. Just to see my work presented on the same page with the galloping, vowel-filled Italian language is simply heaven. I have had the kindest responses from readers of the story in Italy, and I admit I spent much of the day yesterday speaking to my new roommate in my best Italian accent (all words sound better and more joyful with an Italian accent, don't you think? Perhaps actual Italian lessons are in order). After so many months of solitude in the studio, to have such a warm response to my work is so encouraging. Hopefully this is a good omen for the reception of my work at this weekend's international art fair in Toronto. Amo l'Italia!!!
