| 1. We have never met. We correspond. I knew of
them since they were in Miami. We are close but we are far away
in distance.
2. The work of Lansing-Dreiden wants very much to relate to its
audience. They make things that are quite lovely to look at and
listen to. I think the work is easy to like, and it makes its own
space for itself. In a way, like drawing a circle around yourself
in the sand.
I don't know if they ever allow anyone to fully penetrate their
complex or context. But anyway, the work interests me and makes
me feel good and makes me feel like I am a part of it and like I
am at the center of the work if I choose to be and that is a nice
feeling but, maybe, I am still only
brushing the perimeter.
3. For me it is the center, where it belongs. I am a romantic woman.
