Dad’s Office<\/span> – Limited edition book, 1998<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

R. E. S. P. E. C. T.  for everyone out there that <\/span><\/span>diligently<\/span><\/span> keep their blog fed and happy and healthy on a more-or-less daily basis. I have been gone so much and am not savvy enough to keep posting from airports and hotel rooms, besides I need my library. So, thats my attempt at a lame excuse.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I mentioned a few entries back, this is my second favorite book from <\/span><\/span>Nigel Shafran<\/span><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dad’s Office<\/span><\/span><\/a> is a hard-bound collection of 17 color and b\/w images of, if we can believe the title, a deserted home-office in the state of disrepair. Someone  has moved out, presumably dad, but we never know for sure. There is something almost frightening about the sight of the tell-tale signs of time passing. Things being boxed-up, vacuum cleaners and brooms to tidy up a mess that just feels like its been around for years. It might just be the nostalgia of weathered wallpaper that give these images the tinge of sadness; maybe dad has moved into an up-town high-rise office. In the spirit of the RuthBook, there is no text so we are on our own. I included this work in a show that I curated a few years ago and even with Nigel in Salzburg with me, I couldn’t get a word out of him about this work which tells me its very personal. That might be what I admire most about Nigel’s work; he addresses bigger, deeper, and broader themes by telling his own personal story. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both my own office, and my own dad are going through a rough time right now. My office is a disaster, my dad is fighting cancer. But, I have the weekend to get some order into my space and my dad is doing great, all doctors very positive, all tests looking good, although  radiation sucks. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So as I’m sitting here, my daughter comes in and wants to “push”. Her term for typing. Normally I would come up with some excuse about having too much work and she should go play with her sister but tonight, thanks to this book, I invited her up on my lap and I will leave you with what she composed. Definitely as valuable as anything I have written here in the last week.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
